So I update this journal pretty much never.
Recent news:
Working in Japan again this fall; came here late September and I'll be here until Christmas. So now about halfway through. Working a little bit on the tourism thing. Got two late Hojo castles done: the ruins at Takiyama in Western Tokyo, and the rebuilt castle of Odawara in Kanagawa. I'll likely hit Hachioji and perhaps one or two more before I go. Also considering the Imperial Castle tour. Went to the Tokyo Motor Show on November 3. Went to the pre-dreadnought battleship museum HIJMS Mikasa on November 11. Planning to go to a major flea market in Tokyo this weekend.
Nothing terribly exciting regarding cultural hilarity. An unfortunate aspect of having semi-decent Internet access in my room is that it's much easier to get in touch with people and tell them weird stuff as soon as it happens; thus I'm less inclined to write up a travel log. Oh well.
I'm posting most of my pictures in photobucket:
