Japan

Here is another photos from Okinawa's Churaumi Aquarium. The photo below is from the dolphin show outside the Aquarium.

Howdy folks,

I'm new to the site, but I've known about it for a while, as I'm a friend of the mysterious Mr. I (what's up with a one-letter username anyway, eh?). I've never had a blog before, so I don't know if it's really considered blogging if you just put something up you wrote a long time ago, but that's what I'm going to do here. I did the JET program in Akita, Japan from 2002-2003, and I wrote one fairly long e-mail back home about my first impressions of the program and my new environs about 2 months into my stay. Then I just didn't bother e-mailing anymore. That would have required me to be sober long enough to sit up straight at my computer and type something intelligible for the folks back home. Anyway, I hope at least a few of you find these ramblings from 4 1/2 years ago useful. If not, I'm sure our ruthless admin Mr. I will take it down (but only after he prints it out and pisses on it). So here goes. Enjoy!
