Thanks for the kind words, guys. Always nice to hear someone enjoys the rum-soaked ramblings of this rambler. It was indeed a difficult time to visit our favorite country. I really don't think I did justice to the atmosphere in Tokyo. Failing, from lack of eloquence, to convey the sense of visiting soon after the disasters. Things were just, subdued. Uniformly so.

I am very glad we went, though.

The North Korean soldier checking us out? He's right there, the curious Commie:

The drapes are open in the window next to him. That's where more recording devices are set up by NK. Not sure what they think a bunch of goofy tourists have to offer sigint-wise, but they take it all down. The whole place is rather silly. Except for the axe killings and shoot-outs, that is.

Korean BBQ in Korea is really good, better than anything I've eaten here. Makes up for the "Guinness in Ireland is way better" cliche.

I even liked the kimchi!
