Christeph: On the Lam

In the absence of internet access at home, I have travelled an hour by train to our prefecture’s own Big City, the capital Akita.  The best internet access I’ve found is in the lounge of the Akita View Hotel, which is comfy and close to the train station.  I probably won’t do this every day, but I had to try it once.

The lounge people seem happy to let me sit here with my laptop for hours as long as I order something.  I was considering lemonade when I noticed that beer is actually cheaper.  And that’s nothing compared to grapefruit juice which is $8.

So anyway, it looks like it’s going to be another week, and possibly two, until we have internet access at home.  Now that we’ve figured out the internet access situation in town, posts here should be a little more regular (although posting pictures to Flickr is probably going to have to wait, unfortunately).
