Full pic of the large fall

It's hiking season again, and although it's been way too long since I last wrote, knowing that I'm spending that time working exploring my surroundings should be of comfort. No? Fine. Let me start again by saying that I'm going to attempt to w...

The Year of the Rat Hillary finds Pika! Just try to find the real monkey

Last February, a new-to-Sasebo couple we're all now quite familiar with (read: the Hub and I), dreamed of going to Nagasaki to take part in some sort of lamp party but were thwarted by "come-with-us" friends who bailed on them the day of the plan...

Kitty wishes you a good day

Perhaps a strange title, to begin, but it jumps to the heart of this edition of blogliness. As seen previously, the Hub and I had already spent some time in a private Japanese bath, but, as explained by my Japanese friends at work, an onsen is ...

Huis Ten Bosch castle

I've probably mentioned this once or twice, but just next door to the housing area where I live in Hario is a Dutch "theme park" named Huis Ten Bosch. Now, putting theme park in quotations is a little deceiving. Huis Ten Bosch (hereafter called...

Hub in front of the lake at the garden

Too long, too long, but I don't want to dwell on that because the story I have to tell you about one of our prior destinations is just too interesting to focus on the lapse in writing (plus, well, I just like covering my tracks and stuff). The ...

Reef at Iki Island Not exactly the veggies we had in mind

To continue on our travels, but to make them separate entries so no one's eyes cross too badly... Now, Hub and I have taken so many trips since we've been in Sasebo that the women working at the MWR office know us by name, which always makes me...

072907 Decoration at the Kushida Shrine

I seem to be backtracking in my ability to get out timely posts about our trips and our adventures here in the Land of the Rising Sun, so on this long Labor Day Weekend, my goal is to relate our latest little excursions for the masses (read: enjo...

Boiling my food at MK Azuki bean breads at MK Rice fields in June Crab Attack! Do not enter in Engrish Shasta and Squid 2

No major adventures lately, due to a combination of rain and softball that leans heavily on the wet side. Still, we try to get out and about, and I walk on the dry days, so I wanted to share a few of the more picturesque moments in the past few ...

Banshoro!

Right on time, from my viewpoint of blog-writing, that is. I contemplated two different blog entries for the two subjects I hope to cover but eventually decided that if I'd taken this long in one, two would surely be hopelessly lost in the time ...

Hub looks out over Isanoura Lake

Okay, so it's been a bit, but I defend myself by pointing out that I'm working on something of an average; now, I'm not explaining whether that average will be labeled "good" or "bad" by the masses, but it's something I'm working on at a very tur...
