I’ll be leaving for Miyajima in the morning, beginning the third-to-last leg of my trip before turning around in Nagasaki and coming back to Tokyo on Thursday next week. Unfortunately, this also marks the end of my guaranteed Internet access — while I’m sure I’ll be able to find access, I cannot make any promises as to my ability to update on a regular basis. Given how hard typing on Japanese keyboards has proven for me I’m likely to shy away from that, so unless I can stick a flash drive into a USB port and upload entries that way, you may not hear from me until I hit my hotel in Narita four days from now. Think happy thoughts for me, OK?

Meanwhile, if there’s anything that’s really pressing — like, say, requests for stuff to be brought back, or messages, or whatever — you’d better phone. (080-3451-3828, for those of you who aren’t writing things down, figure out how to dial it on your own, ok?)

G’night.
