Here I (Aniek) am also back again! Finally blogging again...finally..and how! It`s half past three in the afternoon, I curled up comfi on a big leather couch in our own compartment with two computers, free drinks ranging from cappuccino to slush puppy and a shower close by, for those of the customers that decide to spend the entire night here (and there seem to be many who indeed do this: gaming, watching DVD`s , reading one of the many mangas in the collection here.....) and my earphones even play 3fm, and have Giel Beelen shouting still the same lines as if it were yesterday that I listened his morning show for the last time. This all happens in the very centre of Tokyo, home to 12 million (uberhip) people including Takeshi and Kazu, our two Japanese friends that also studied in Copenhagen and that showed us yesterday again what partying in Japan is all about: KARAOKEEEEEE!!!

Hello again!

Good heavens, it has been a long, long while since we updated our story here, and we regret it much. I guess it has to do with the higher pace we keep in Japan, and the lower public availability and higher costs of internet kept us from taking the time to write our stories down. This time too, we have but half an hour left to blog, so we will have to apply a low resolution :).

Hi everybody!

Thanks for all your comments and emails, they make us happy :).

A ultrashort update to keep you posted a bit: we took a delightful 2-day boat trip from Shanghai to Osaka (it felt like a cruise in the sun), and travelled on to nearby Kyoto. Up to now, it is absolutely fabulous: extremely friendly people, easy to travel around and a beautiful country. Kyoto is also beautiful, having a thriving city life while its temples are oases of rest with magnificent gardens.
Ah yes, Japan is great so far, and, to us, a very good follow up from adventurous China :)

As usual, our time is filled with things we want and have to do, and updating our blog is still waiting in line patiently (something which the Japanese excel in by the way, lining up, in complete contrast to the rush-push Chinese) - so we hope to come back to you soon with more stories, atmosphere and perhaps some pictures :).

Take care!
