(Link) Fukuoka: The Magical Mystery Tour

It turns out that, by default, Blogger dates posts to when you first edit them, not when you hit "publish." This creates some problems when, out of a delicate blend of bafflement and sheer laziness, you sit on a long post for nearly a month.

Behold: The Magical Mystery Tour, the story of how we came to play rock-paper-scissors with the mayor.

Posted today, but dated to October 30, 2011.

Kyoto Itinerary

Nana and I thought it might be a good idea to start posting itineraries for our trips. (Meaning that we'll probably do this once, or maybe twice, then forget about it entirely.)

So here's how we spent our Autumn vacation. I can't guarantee we'll write a post on each of these, but when we do post, we'll add a link below.
