Kjell writes from Japan...


This was our first full day of the trip and we spent it mostly visiting sites in Kyoto. We saw a bunch of temples, the coolest part so far has been the gardens. They manipulate almost everything (the trees, waterfalls, moss) and it looks really cool. The Japanese are really nice and I've enjoyed the food (I think I've getting to be known as the guy who tries anything). I did have one experience where what I thought was a fruit custard ended up being some sort of seafood pudding. I didn't go back for seconds. No one here is overweight and everyone thinks that we have Swine Flu (50% of everyone we see is wearing one of those masks).
