If you didn’t’ see season one, go a grab it from Amazon its one the best programs around.

There a many aspects of living in Japan, a few I’ve covered in previous blogs and others that now just strike me as completely normal that I’ve forgotten that about the other world reality. (like trains running of time).

Time to go home. 

Came across this old advsertisement on YouTube today. Was looking for something completely different, but it was fun. The second one I’m not sure if its Australian or New Zealand, but its dead funny.

I’m working through all the pics from Cambodia.  Its a real challenge as there are over 700 from the last cull, but here is one I really loved.

I was just talking to a really great friend on MSN and starting working on an anology of cancer survival. Why am I going on about this subject, well, if you want membership to this particular house party that is something you really need to undestand.

One of the reasons that I switched my site to Serendipity is that I installed it as part of a new subsite for the house remodelling at Shimoda. A really great friend of mine has purchased an old house down there (150 years old at last count). When you see the first pic’s of it, well our thoughts were Soweto. It really is the worst house in a great area. The Sotoura valley has this lovely little community that we have become familiar with over the last year and really loved.

So now my entries will be split up abit as I will be writing about me and Shimoda. The site is

Have a read and hope you enjoy. Here is picture from the new underwater camera. Pentax Optio W30 – bloody brillant.

Something to brighten up the place.

An this is what he caught!

I’ve spent the last three nights redating all the imported entries from my blogger site.  It was supposed to automatic, but I think I got the date format mixed up and the intructions were a little vague, however its done now.  It has also been a really great experience reading back on them all.  The entries I wrote during my cancer treatment seemed at the time something to do, but not a ‘high priority’.  On reading back I am so glad I did talk with my blog as its provided a great insight into how I felt at the time and lets me see how things have changed since.

My writing is always fairly personal but then if it wasn’t what would it be worth.  The entries have made me laugh and cry all over again, but in a really great way!  Now that I’ve settled on a really great blog system, and also seen how important it is to write at the time I’ll be continuing to keep it up. And hey if you do read it, leave a comment!
