some new posts, and a promise of more to come.

if you keep an eye here, you may spot more posts in the near future, i still have to do a post on Osaka, Mishima/Fuji, and Tokyo pt.2, then i will consider us caught up to last month...then more on korea after that, if i have the gumption, but i promised myself to update this blog more often than i have, however a tragedy involving a wily kitten and a cup of coffee have rendered our home computer quite...paper-weightish (at least for now), so here are a few posts to tide you over from japan and one of kat's about cultural differences...enjoy.
