Barto's Travels: Nojiri (2)
http://bartotravels.blogspot.com/2009/04/nojiri-2.html
Places I've lived and visited. Thursday, April 23, 2009. The road didn't go to that cabin. We either had to hoof everything up from the bottom of the hill, or we had to drive to some point above the cabin and carry it down (the preferred way). Even water, we had to carry by bucket from the spring. well. Drinking water, anyway. There was a rain barrell of sorts to collect water from the roof for laundry and baths. The closest spring for this cabin was at the bottom of the hill, where the path met the grav...

Barto's Travels: Ramen and Gyoza in Waikiki
http://bartotravels.blogspot.com/2008/03/ramen-and-gyoza-in-waikiki.html
Places I've lived and visited. Monday, March 31, 2008. Ramen and Gyoza in Waikiki. 1 Ramen Ezogiku, 2146 Kalakaua Avenue. There was a queue to get in, and the clientele mostly Japanese. Well worth the wait. The specialty here is Sapporo style ramen. I got the Miso Ramen, and Nancy got the Yakisoba (fried noodles). We both got the set that came with four Gyoza and a small Fried Rice. Everything was as good as in Japan. The miso broth had a nice "zing" to it. Our second visit. Atom Feed for This Site.

Barto's Travels: May 2008
http://bartotravels.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Places I've lived and visited. Friday, May 30, 2008. Matsue. Early 1960s. I have were of being a kid in Matsue. On the coast of Shimane Prefecture. Near the Sea of Japan. The winters were cold there, and I remember walking down our sidewalk with the snowbanks over my head. I had the unique experience of growing up in Japan. I went over when I was six months old, and, with the exception of a Norwegian family, we were the only westerners for many miles. As a young boy, I had blonde hair. Links to this post.

Bart's Bucket List: 5. Spend a year (or two (or three)) abroad
http://bakagaijins.blogspot.com/2007/12/5-spend-year-or-two-or-three-abroad.html
Where will they take me? 5 Spend a year (or two (or three) abroad. Back To My Site. Manassas, Virginia, United States. View my complete profile. Wednesday, December 12, 2007. 5 Spend a year (or two (or three) abroad. I think everyone should spend a year (or two, or more) away from the country of birth (or of growing-up). It broadens one's horizons, and lends a perspective that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. At one time, I could claim that I lived in Japan. Longer than I lived here in the USA.

Where will they take me? Back To My Site. Manassas, Virginia, United States. View my complete profile. Monday, July 9, 2007. This might be the perfect time to start doing more for the environment. Even before the Live Earth. Concert, I have been exploring ways to cut down on energy use and increase recycling. My first thought was to install solar power. In my house, especially since the back of my house faces nearly due south. I did a lot of research and it turns out this is still pretty expensive. A dow...
