Well, the time has come. I'm packing away my modem and giving up my free broadband. I might be going nearly nine days without an Internet connection. So it may be a while before you hear from me.

Japan's been great, and I've had a great time hanging out with everyone except Mike Orme, who gives me cancer every time I see him.

My experiences as a gaijin wandering Japan will etched in this blog, as permanent as the dotcom that lets me publish it for free.

Catch you on the flip side...
