Well I have been back from Japan for a little over a week now and I wish I was still there. A lot of things happened in Japan, I saw and did and lived and loved. If I spoke better Japanese (I am studying it currently and will hopefully become familiar with at a least basic level) I wouldn't mind living there. It is a bit expensive but I don't think it is that much worse then any of the cities around here. The culture is alive and a bit refreshing compared to the mundane life I usually live. There is a whole part of that trip which I am not ready to share with everyone yet but I will eventually. That part was the most wonderful part. I hope to return again as soon as I can afford to.

I have posted a picture form the trip, it is one of many but I don't know how many I will post. To be honest I just don't feel as drawn to participate here as I once did. I have had less time for one, and a lot of things I consider to be more important have come to be a normal part of my life now. I am to the point where many of the photos I take have more personal meaning to me and sharing that here is far less important then sharing it with my close friends and family. Indeed some of the pictures I really don't want the general public viewing, those of family and such. Maybe I am just a private person when it comes to those things. I may share a few more photos from my trip but not many. I have already let my subscription go and I will most likely become less and less present here. I am thinking about moving to a photo service that allows me to share my photos with only certain individuals or groups (friends, family). I have a picasaweb albums account (now google owned) and it is alright, also I am looking at flickr (anyone have any experience with this, good or bad, that they care to share?). Also if you know of another one besides these two I would appreciate hearing about it. I am also looking at having a friend of mine host a private gallery for me.

I am sorry this entry is so long. I hope everyone is doing well and I wish you all a wonderful life.

Bye for now.
