I only wish > I had more time and more yen to spend! Well, I'm spending paid vacation time right now, so thankfully, not bad as long as I keep to a $100 a day budget and try not to break things. But, I guess I know so much about the culture and food already, I'm starting to get bored here! You can only amaze at Geisha, Ramen, and electronics for so long before even the many temples and parks start to look the same..... (odd,but I never get that bored feeling passing by those HUGE BIC camera and electronic stores =) always itchy to go in. Now until Nov are good times to go - tickets are about $550 on ana's website, and you can spend about $70 per day for room, $7 per meal - cheaper if you go the Youth Hostel route. (Free if you sleep on the floor of a train station at Ueno, or at Ueno park with the other homeless.) ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
