Revisiting Japan circa 2004

While cleaning out a closet to post a few items on Yerdle I re-discovered a hard drive with a copy of my blog from 2004. At the time I was living in Tamano, Japan with three host families and studying as a first-year high school student. As I held the clunky drive in my hand a flood of memories rushed into my mind. I could smell the seaside and taste the takoyaki.

A few sed scripts later I had my blog back up and running on at gleitzman.com/japan. Perhaps a budding Japan-bound traveler will find some wisdom amid the musings.
