I've been back for most for 24 hours and I have to say that I have no idea what time zone I'm physiologically in.

My stomach: Japanese time zone; more, no rich foods for me and only small portions, please.
My muscles: California time zone. At least some part of me has adjusted.
My mind: whatever time zone allows me to sleep.
My heart: in Japan. Always. :P

I loved it. It was amazing and I had a great time in both Taiwan and Japan. I have gobs of pictures to share and will put something together soon.

Hehe. I'm listening to Utada Hikaru's latest alblum, "Ultra Blue", right now. She sings random english lyrics often enough that Jeff's looked up from his grant-writing and joked, "I think I'm getting so used to it that I'm starting to understand Japanese..."

The cat's playing with one of my new asian hair things. it's one of those that has two little plastic pieces and tons of elastic in between, and so one of the pieces is coming up and hitting her in the face! So she is kicking her own butt right now. Poor little confused kitty.

Oh, I think I know what you're talking about! You mean the ones that are shaped like this:

I used to have tons of those kinds of hair elastics when I was little. All bought from Taiwan. Of course. They were the best and everyone always admired. No wonder Lena's having so much fun playing with them! ;)

So glad you're back! *hugs*
