Finally, everyone showed up ...

Konbawa Ah enfin le mauvais temps. Ca fait longtemps que je ne m'étais pas payé la flotte. Et Tokushima dans la grisaille, ca doit ressembler à Dunkerque... J'ai tenté Tokushima by night. On n'a beau se peler le soir avec le vent glacial, elles sont toutes en mini jupes. Guy, t'as pris ton billet? J'ai croisé un israélien dans un club de jazz et après on a testé une boite au hasard. Déjà rien que l'entrée, tu te demandes ce que c'est ...

Hello from Japan!!! Quite the trip to get here.

Life doesn't improve at this point; we make it through ...

A search car came out and picked up the last stragglers. The teacher I was walking with said the school was only 10 minutes further so I think we would have made it, but earlier he didn't know which way to go and had called for directions so the teachers were ...

After waking this morning, we went to the ryokan's dining room at our appointed breakfast time for a traditional Japanese breakfast, consisting of rice, miso soup, small fish and other condiments, shredded Kobe beef, this stinky, goopy fermented soybean paste called natto, and some other things I forget. You pile things on your rice, then take a sheet of seaweed and wrap it around both topping and rice, and eat the whole thing as sort of ...

... where we saw loads of cool Japanese teahouses and restaurants, it was dark with pools of light, neon signs and old-fashioned handscripted signs, like something out of a very mixed up dream. The first time I saw two Maiko walking with their hair gleaming black and faces stark white with pink blush, and their outfits and their obi and their shoes, well to be quite honest I burst into tears (Michelle and Adriana were kind and only made fun of me a little bit) and sobbed because I ...
