We're back after eight pretty damn good days in Tokyo and need a vacation from our vacation. Sleep the night before we came back (New Year's) was almost nonexistent. On top of that our flight back was delayed over an hour and then the bus to Wonju was 20 minutes late. I was hoping get a little shut eye on the bus but we had the Korean Paul Tracy for a bus driver. I honestly didn't know a bus could maneuver like that at those speeds. Somehow the people around us seemed to sleep even with the rocking from the patented constant on-off-on-off of the gas pedal. I think that's a Korean thing. We also had to begin working days and teach extra classes starting today. I need to sleep tonight so i'll be short.

This shot of Shibuya was from our second full day in Tokyo. We spent the day wandering aimlessly and exploring. The intersection here was something to behold. When the light changed people filled the entire intersection moving in every direction. We spent our week checking out Mount Fuji and riding the bullet train, shopping, and spent two days at Disneyland. We also bought a lot of Merch. We probably came back with almost twice as much stuff as we went with. I think we both had a good time, but i'll have to get into more detail another day.

Thanks for the pictures. I managed to check my email in Japan before our flight left to come back here. You should see the crap we bought for the little ones at Disneyland. I was close to spending $60 on little kimonos for them. What size is Athena now? She's looking huge. I'll send a pic of the haul to you when your email's working again.
