Importing & GLORIOUS NIPPON
So I guess while I figure out what I should bring in from older blogs and how I'll go about doing it -- since Posterous isn't importing some blog content correctly and other pieces I've gotta import manually -- I'll go into a little more detail about this whole Japan thing.
Basically over the past week the possibility of going to Japan over the summer has gone from "wouldn't it be cool if..." to "LET'S DO THIS SHIT, YEAAAAHHHH!!!" The current itinerary is looking like the first two or three weeks of July, hopping from Tokyo, Nikko, Kamakura, then there's a big week of question marks, then back to Tokyo and departing out of Narita. We're gonna be doing a lot of hiking and have a couple of trail guide books that talk about neat trails in the back country that travel through farms and along smaller, less traveled roads.
I dunno about everyone else, but that's my ideal vacation -- taking the roads less traveled, seeing the stuff someone bunking in Tokyo for a few days wouldn't possibly get to check out. Dunno if Fujiyama is even on our radar, we're just that cool. B) I'm penning in an obligatory nerd pilgrimage to Akihabara; that'll probably be an endeavor taken on the last leg of the trip out rather than in the beginning. I imagine hiking with five pounds of plastic anime figurines and folded-up french maid costumes is difficult, not to mention awkward.
I'll be wearing my FiveFingers...or at least I'd like to. It would be nice to get at least a little notice from vibram, but a few pictures of "I'm wearing your wacky toe shoes at/under the floating torii at Miyajima" should at least get someone's attention. They're great shoes. They feel magical. /unpaid advertisement
Anyways yeah. Easter weekend family dinner calls. I wanna see if gmail emoticons work in crossposts, so if you see a wakaba here
then it works. If not...well, that's a shame.
edit: it works!! probably saves the emoticons as a new image on their servers each time I send one. I won't hassle Posterous with hosting Gmail's emoticons too terribly often.
