Well, it's Friday night and I'm here at home.  Ah yes, my exciting life here in Japan.  I went ahead and uploaded the pictures from our trip to Tsushima.  Tsushima is an island that, while technically part of Nagasaki prefecture, is way off the coast and only about 50 km from South Korea.  I would have taken pictures of the South Korean coast, but I couldn't get a decent shot.  Tsushima is known for a species of wild cat that is only found on the island...no pictures of those either save for the big statue at the wildlife sanctuary (they wouldn't let us take pictures of the one living there).

I hope you enjoy the new pictures.  I also added a few more to the Australia album that didn't get included in the first group.  Off to a party tomorrow night.  Two kids at Mifune Junior High won the national robot competition...pretty impressive for a tiny town of 18,000, so they have to have a party for Mr. Otsuka (the technology teacher).

That's all for now.  I'm sure I'll be updating soon.
