The Gaijin Rapport: December 2010
http://gaijinrapport.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 8, 2010. There are 15 rocks in this Zen garden, of which you can only view 14 at a time. If you can see the 15th with the others, you are said to have reached enlightenment. I think the highest count I got was 12 or 13. Clearly, I have a long way to go with my enlightenment journey. Toji temple market - loads of people buying everything from kimono to this week's groceries. Selling pine tree branches. This stand smelled amazing! Kyoto Tower in the distance.

The Gaijin Rapport: September 2010
http://gaijinrapport.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 29, 2010. Microwaveable popcorn is not easy in Japan. I have a lot to catch up on, so bear with me as this will probably be an extremely long post.

It was very busy with children running around and even a “magic/stunts” show done by a Japanese man with poorly dyed hair. Whitney playing a slot machine called Pachinko. The view outside my...

Tuesday, November 9, 2010. If you are smart, you've been following Whitney's blog also since she's really good at updating.
