THis is the area where I keep all those little nifty stories about living and playing in Japan that I saw fit to write.  Kind of a cross between a diary and an unwritten letter to a friend from home.  If you have a story about your life in japan that you want published, send it and any relevant pictures to manji@sunfield.or.jp. Or, you can send them through Real mail and I'll do all the dirty work myself.  Oh, You'll notice that there's a sort of "Hello-Kitty" theme going on here.  I'm not that much of a kitty freak.  To me, she's just another Sanrio character that's so disgustingly cute that I want to hold her close, fall to my knees and vomit all over her while worshipping her empty presence.  That's not too weird or anything, right?

Hey, Look!  It's Hello Kitty! (or "Kitty-chan" as we say in Japan) She is going to be the indicator of how many pictures are attached to this page.  The more Hello Kitty heads, the more pictures there are.  It's just a formality so that you know how long to expect to wait for the page to download- four or more Kitty Heads and it's prbably a good time to get yourself a cool beverage.  Or maybe open a second web browser...
