We just had an exciting experience! There was an earthquake here in Tokyo! It was about a 2.2 where my friend lives. The epicenter was 30 or so miles west of here and about 90 km underground. The girls just got in from shopping, and they were sitting on a train waiting to come home when it hit, and the train started rocking back and forth, but it hadn't started moving yet, so they were wondering why it was moving side to side! Apparently there are sensors on the track that will shut down all the trains and subways if it senses an earthquake starting.

Found a Catholic Church that's close to where Gina's husband works, so we're going tomorrow, and it is Japanese only. That will be fun!
We're going to a Mexican restaurant tonight.

Mornin' Suzi (or evenin' or whatever it is for you now). Glad you're havin' a good time and that you had enough time to funkle.

Wife spent a summer teaching English in Japan. She attended and played the piano for a Christian church where everything was in Japanese. They would give her the name and number of the hymns in English. She would play while they sang in Japanese.

One morning one of the hymns written on the list was "Peace Like a Liver."

It sounds like a thrilling adventure! The whole thing! The earthquake, the Japanese Catholic Church! It should be ok, though, huh? I mean, you'll be able to follow along during the service?

How exciting it all sounds!! To be off seeing the world!

How very cool! Hope you're having a great time.

By the way, why is it you've gone halfway around the world and your posting time hasn't changed?
