Please forgive my lack of posts of late. Been busy. Went to a wedding reception in Hiroshima. Slept in a capsule hotel for the first time. Saw monkeys doing crazy things and being chased away with a squirt gun. Spent too much time on the bullet train. Too much money, too. Continued to push the limits of how messy one apartment can be. And now, when I should be packing for America, I am sitting here at my computer writing this.... Yeah, I gotta go. But stay tuned for a plethora of pictures after the new year!
