Arrrived safe and sound in Tokyo. Ha, I did NOT even get lost this time finding the train & buses to Fujimi.
My personal computer bit the dust on the plane trip for some unknown reason. I planned on buying a new one in the near future anyway. Machine I'm currently typing on is 100& Kanji, confusing trying to navigate to a translated website.
My Japanese is improving, to the point I can actually ask directions and understand when they reply in broken English. Yesterday, I attended an English to Japanese class at the local library. Kanji writing is another story, if I move here, take me at least 5 years acording to the experts. Complex, had to tape English letters on the computer keyboard to make sense of it all.
2012 Mazda 2 seater roadster convertibile for me to enjoy ripping on the mt roads, FAST fu*ker. Truthfully, it's equal or better to being on the bike,especially in the wet.
Rainy weather so NO MC riding yet. Were headed to a festival this afternoon. FREE beer, jazz, art show, should be quite interesting.
Taos, you would LOVE the ski areas. Almost reminds me of Colorado,Jackson Hole, steep gnarly double diamond trails. Next week, I,m doing the rental MTB pedal bike downhill trip. Ha, they even provide armor.
Dynamo dual sport trails 2 minutes from the house. bummer it has rained so hard, finally the sun is peeking out.
Susprised that eveyone is so friendy to a long haired gaijin. Small smattering of UK folks own ski homes in the valley.
Stay tuned, I'll be posting some pics once I aquire a new computer. I HATE my Iphone for blogging.

I was stationed in Japan for two years during the mid 80s. What an absolutly beautiful place to live. While I never did pick up on more than 10-15 Kanji characters, I pretty much mastered Hiragana and got to be half way decent at Katakana. 2 semesters of basic Japanese and a lot of cultural immersion made for a two year vacation. I would love to go back someday, but now I am short of $!
