We are back in Japan, currently on the train to Hakodate! Hooray!
-
Woof! Tuesday was *rough,* yesterday wasn’t fun, but I’m feeling good today, so we should be back in Hakodate by tonight!
-
So we did not actually leave Korea yesterday. Teddy came done with a nasty stomach bug and has been recovering. We’re going to try for another flight tomorrow depending on how he feels today. Pray that I don’t get it! Stomach bugs are super contagious and I don’t want it.
-
We are keeping an eye on the situation in South Korea, but my friend there says it shouldn’t impact us, so we’re not too worried about it.
-
Something I’m still getting used to is having to put on a jacket to go pee. Our toilet is far away from the heater!
-
Went to a dope park today – but it was bitter, snow-on-the-ground cold!
-
Now that I’ve shaved, I’ve had to go through all the profile pictures and things on the site and change them to me without a beard, or else nobody will be able to recognize me!
-
I’m uploading all the photos for the Big Photo Dump I’ve been promising, but there’s a bunch and it’s late; I’ll post them all tomorrow once we’re in Osaka.
-
Alright, we’ve ported our numbers to Google Voice. We can text as much as we want now, and we’re 90% sure we can call for free whenever we’re on Wifi now.
-
We’re in a really cute mountain town.
-
More posts coming, we’ve just been on the move a lot and I haven’t had time.
-
The McFarlands land in an hour! Ahhh!
-
Our current hotel is fine but not great – but it’s right next to a river walk which is stunning.
-
Stumbled across a Hokkaido food fair yesterday and got some great food – including these dark chocolate/strawberry and milk/satsuma swirls!
-
Church was really great! We had a lot of fun hanging out with everyone there, and maybe made some new friends???
-
I got a book of postcards – like 40 postcards for less than $10! Send me a text if you want us to send you one!
-
We’re at a train museum that is clearly targeted at small children. Whoops!
-
Nara Park is totally worth it. Feeding the deer is way more fun than I expected, and there’s a ton of cool architecture and scenery around.
-
Okay, we have a lot of pictures now, but they’re probably gonna wait until next week when we’re back with my laptop.
-
Kyoto is actually gorgeous.
-
We went to the Shibuya scramble crossing today!
-
Here’s a statue of Captain Tsubasa from near our Airbnb.
-
We are in Japan! But it looks like our phones won’t work here, so we will not get your texts or calls. So the best way to reach us is email, or finding us on Whatsapp.
-
We are currently in the air, almost to Japan! Less than two hours to go! Ahhhh!
-
It’s getting so hard to focus on anything. We’re gonna be in Japan in like a week! Ahhh!
-
I’ve been to the Asian grocery store near us three times in the last four days – and I wanted to go today, but Cassie was with me and said no.
-
We’re gonna be pretty consistently busy, but if we gave you one of our contact cards, we’d still love to hear from you. As long as you don’t expect a fast reply, feel free to reach out, tell us what you’ve been up to, or even just say hi!
-
Just bought a bidet and installed it in Candace and Tim’s guest bathroom. We can’t live without one!
-
We have landed in VA by the way; we’re staying with Cassie’s sister. We (and the cats!) are all settling in well, we’re just tired. Expect an update soon!
-
As excited as I am to leave Florida, we’re at the point now where most of our goodbyes to people are Goodbyes, and it is sad. We’re going to miss so many people!
