Landed Safely

Friday, October 28th, 2005

Hey Everybody,

I landed back in Portland safe and sound, and thanks again everyone. Souvenirs are on the way 😉

Anyhow I am going to get a shower and some sleep… I am a little jet lagged out…. Keep checking in on this thing though…I will add more photos and keep writting entries for a while… I still have a lot to cover!

Ja Ne, Dylan

No photos for you!

Wednesday, October 26th, 2005

Well as it turns out, all of the programming language for this computer in the cybercafe is in nihongo…which means I dont know wether I am uploading a photo or just creating a deadly new computer virus that will engulf the entire internet within 24 hours. So more photos will have to wait until later…probably until I get back. The original files are too large to upload and I am not sure how to reduce them. I have my second image cd made up but again…japanese creates a barrier for me. So I am just kinda sitting here and putzing around…got a nice lounge chair and I’m just taking it easy… Get back to you again probably from Tokyo…and then from home!

What a ride this has been…couldn’t have done it without all of you… and I mean ALL of you!
