Sound Familiar?

To get filled in on the latest adventure you'll need to pull out that link to babel fish again - unless you know how to read Japanese (http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and remember you can just type in the blog web address to translate the text instead of having to copy and paste it into the box)!

私は私の2 週の出張のための東京に飛ぶことを約ある。うまく行けば私は平面で休み、冒険の準備ができた日本で着くことができる。東京の観光の名所を探検するためにSheri は私を今週末頃結合する。私は英語を... 話すだれでも見つけることを困難にする日本に大いにより大きい言語ギャップがあることを聞いた私はよいポストの上がを感じる。人あなたの週末の残りを楽しむことを望みなさい。さようなら。

Interesting how backtranslating text using the same website that translated it in the first place can create such alarming confusion... all the better for YOU to comment on what you think I actually meant in the first place.

The boring short version - I'm off for Japan and I feel a few adventurous posts waiting there. Enjoy the rest of your weekend - unless you're in Doha, in which case enjoy the start to your work week in 9 hours!

Glad to hear you will be able to post from Japan. I was sad yesterday (Sunday) because you weren't online like you usually are. Have a good trip.

For the record, I've beaten GH on hard now. I was going to try and five star them all, but that would be equivalent to me trying to learn to fly.

Michael please tell me you aren't talking about guitar hero??? Brandon I think almost had a nervous breakdown the other day when he couldn't get through a song on hard. So as the good wife that I am I sat and watched him till he beat it, but seriously it took quite awhile.
I am still on easy but thats because I don't want to show Brandon up!!!heheeh I hope you are doing well in Africa!!!

It also helps that I don't have internet access at home. I'll get you next time.

Oh, by the way, Guitar Hero?!?! Are you serious?

Have fun in Tokyo.

Have fun in Japan! Kyle's been there a few times and loves it. His favorite place was the whiskey bar with karaoke, basically a gentelman's club. They each got their own girl that sat with them and served them drinks all night!

To quote a certain Babelfish translation, slightly modified, I
"Desire the fact that remainder of [your time in Japan] is enjoyed. Way if."

'Way if' indeed. Email me.
