Introduction

Welcome to the first installment of my very first blog.... ever. Yeh, pretty amazing being a computer geek and all, and it's taken me this long to write a blog. Well... I find it nice to write my thoughts... knowing that someone may or may not read this some day. I find myself very forgetful lately (alzheimers?), so this will be very useful when the full brain cell loss kicks in.

So... this is the Japan Trip of 2005. I should write written an ongoing entry, but you'll get an ongoing entry as it is... a kind of Post-Trip Blog. Lots of things happened so I doubt I'll be able to write it all up in one night anyway.

A summary of the trip would go like this.
25-27 Jan - Tokyo
27 Jan - Feb 6 - Niseko/Hirafu
Feb 7 - Feb 11 - Hokkaido
Feb 12 - 25 - Honshu and the rest

Trip participants:
Jan 25 - Feb 6: Ken,Cherie,Mak,Chieh,Karina,Ari
Feb 6 - Feb 12: Ken,Cherie,Mak
Feb 13 - Feb 26: Ken,Cherie,Mak,Louisa

Cheech/K/Ari stayed in Niseko for another 2 weeks and saw the Toyota big air. We met up with them on the last day in Tokyo.

It was a totally awesome trip. If someone asked me what I thought of the trip, I would say 'good'. It could have been great, excellent, just the bestest.... but it was good.... ok, you twisted my arm... "really good". Kind of like, really good, and really loved it mixed into one. I can't explain it so you'll just have to live with it.

Ok, so enough of the small talk, let's start this thing! I know you won't enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed living it... but sucked in!
