Ahh...Pidgin is no problem. My in-laws are all Filipino and most of them speak Ilokano unless they are speaking directly to me. I understand some of it but I still have a long way to go.
I just noticed your comment about shipping my vehicle. We actually arrived here on Tuesday evening of this week to a bunch of family members wielding tuberose leis. I've been here many times but that was the first time I've been received like that -- it was very nice :). Now I'm certainly going to have to be careful not to get fat as my in-laws are continuously amazed that I like their food so they are always trying to test me out. Maybe after I've been here long enough I'll even figure out what they are saying!
Aloha,
I was stoked to know somebody can relate to my Vic-20. I think it changed my life! I still have it. I hope to someday use it as a prop in my personal remembrance of the early days of technology. In the day I lusted at Heathkit; they had a computer (build it yourself) that ran C/PM, but I couldn't afford it.

Ah, I was hoping to take the kids back to see Grandma and Grandpa Fujita sometime later this year, but the prices of travel from Japan this year is just skyrocketing... oy!
Maybe if you and Russ come to Tokyo..? Well, I think I could manage to get down to Tokyo to catch up with you guys...
But let's keep an unsigned, undated rain check on that sake. I can bring some of the good stuff from Hokkaido!
The Sapporo Snow Festival is pretty nice. I took my family on the eve of the opening, to skate outdoors in front of the Sapporo TV Tower. We saw lots of cool ice sculptures, even one from the Hawaii team!
Oh, mais ouis, lots of pure snow, just as Charles De Mar says. In my picture, I am actually standing on top of the little mountain that collected when all the snow on the roof came down in back.
