Sorry you've been feeling ill Paul, but glad you're on the mend!

That's cool about the car - you planning any road trips - you should do!

I can imagine. :)  I haven't driven since I came to Serbia.. I'm almost nervous about the thought of it now... luckily here in Serbia and Ukraine where I'll be come August have great public trans and I don't really have to worry about it.  For now at least. LOL

many americas cope...its a little different but you learn to adapt

Wow!  Glad you starting to feel better, and I hope you continue to feel better.

Second.. you have been busy!!!  Congrats on the car. I can imagine that's interesting.  At least you're used to driving on that side of the car.. for me, being American, I'd be totally lost.

Have fun in Tokyo too!!!!
