Joel here.
Just another quick note to announce that I met up with Tom without a hitch - in fact, I woke up this morning to find him standing over my bed. Very surreal indeed.
Today we went to Ueno to look at the spring blossoms in a big park, and went round some markets under a railway bridge, and went to Tokyo National Museum to look at very, very old paintings of people looking at spring blossoms like they are still doing today, which was lovely. Tom took loads of photos so hopefully you'll see those when his camera has charged.
So far Tokyo is pretty much the best place in the world.
Our hostel has very uncomfortable beds but free internet access and a great location, and they're having a party tonight down the road so we might pop along.
I saw some more small dogs today. I even saw a statue of a small dog.

wow,
what a lot of blossom.
great pics of Tokyo. Stephen was worried you would miss the blossom in Kyoto but I guess you are all blossomed out.

No blossom here yet. :(
We have had some rather thick snowfall, however.
You are not missing a great deal over here. Two little girls found a severed head on a beach ... which you probably know about, since you're always leaving those damned severed heads lying around. Probably why you left the country ....
Amber loves The General. I think she still favours Chaplin though...
