Kyoto is, as you describe, beautiful...thanks to your video. We've really enjoyed your posts especially your writing; another of your great talents. As your adventure comes to a close, no doubt you're aware that our family, your family and good friends have enjoyed your vacation along with you, every step of the way. How cool is that to travel to the other side of the planet and take us all with you!

There's one that is supposed to have a fast mode that uses GPS or something to take you to where you want to go with no intervention. There's even one with legs! The Center for Emerging Science and Technology is definitely cool. There are two other floors I didn't have time to even get to... but that's Tokyo — everything is big. Yeah, they’re made by Toyota.

I wonder how fast it could zip me down the 404 to Yonge & Eg.... Although, those non-human magnetic powered cars are pretty cool too... they make petrol, electric AND hydrogen cars look like dinosaurs! That science centre place you went to was pretty damn cool. Don't think I could have done the ferris wheel though - it's a combination of my worst nightmares: stuck in a glass bubble/high above the ground/in a land where no one can understands me :) Wow - those giant robotic wheelchairs (i-unit?) are the rickshaws of the future!

Love the juxtaposition between the tranquil gardens, the busy streets and the punk concert! I'm keeping gramdma up to date on you events, she is going to be thrilled with the idea of you being taken to a punk concert with 'new friends'!! Enjoy some vegetarian sushi for me!

Mom sent me your URL, and I've caught up on your adventure - how exciting! I love seeing the blend between serene gardens with prehistoric lillies, giant koi fish and trees that cast unique shadows - to the bustle of people, shops, ad space and an array of architecture... all together on one small island! Glad to see you're having fun! Those rickshaws look like a neat/fun way to get around - who wouldn't want to travel in a giant wheelchair??! Sarah Hey Jim!
