Long Hiatus Finished
Of late I've posted absolutely nothing at all (as if you hadn't noticed). I've been on spring break, during which my parents visited me here in Japan. It was a great visit, and I trust that they had a wonderful time. Mom absolutely blew away my expectations in terms of stamina and ability to 頑張る (ganbaru: to try very hard) through a whole range of foreign foods.
I have about four billion pictures to post, so those will be going up after I get them color-balanced and so on. Until that time ... hang in there.
