When did your plans change? I thought you were going to NYC?

How long are you planning to stay in Japan? What do you plan to do there? This is really exciting - I hope you have a wonderful adventure and life deals you all that you hoped for. :-6

I have no idea how long i want to stay in Japan hence the one way ticket my plans havnt changed i still want to get to New York one way or another :wah: the thing about Japan that instrests me is the culture i find it so fasanaiting :-6

Wow. Big move. Im excited for you. Nervous and excited. What are your plans when you get there ? Geisha girls I imagine. Get yourself a concubine and try that hanging basket trick.

You know Ive always considered myself Japanese.

No I dont speak the language and Ive never been there but theres a nagging feeling deep down that theres a connection somehow.

Maybe its the ninja in me I dont know.

Anyway I hope you like rice and raw squid.

Can I talk you out of this ?

You need a plan.

Do you have a plan ?

Although I do like your declaration the journey of self discovery.

This might be good.

Im flip flopping here.

Its none of my business I know but Im concerned.

Cant be any stranger than being Scottish.

Wow!! ML what a fantastic adventure... have a brilliant time:-6:driving::D

Ooh ooh Darren, You should be a Sumo wrestler. Sumo wrestlers are revered in Japan. The only problem I see is having your butt hanging out while you work. Ooh wait, Idea: You could be a Scottish kilt wearing Sumo wrestler (Ya gotta have a catch).



Man I gotta write this stuff down...
