stupid ":":s... ah!

it:s cold in japan all of a sudden. first day was slightly muggy with highs in the low 70:s. second day: dropped to the 50:s and what:s probably 40:s with windchill.

on the bright side, the cold weather made me feel at home in jtree :)

and in case anyone is wondering, i can:t find the stupid apostrophe on japanese keyboards.　Instead, they've replaced it with... waah?

in the middle of this blog, I pushed some button and now I have full american keyboard usage - woo hoo! they've gien me my apostrophes!!! I can now claim possessives!!!

In other news, met with friends yumi, ami, yumi's bf, johnnie's sister domini, my grandparents and a family friend. not much shopping, fewer engrish mistakes, and even less shopping. Off to nara in 4.5 minutes, and then to south korea where I'm curently trying to convince my sister to go visit one of the more dangerous places in the world: the north korea / south korea de-militarized zone (only 80 km away from seoul!).
