The old home town looks the same as I step down from the train,
and there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.
Down the road I look and there runs Mary hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.
It's good to touch the green, green, grass of home.
The old house is still standing, tho' the paint is cracked and dry,
and there's that old oak tree that I used to play on.
Down the lane I walk with my sweet Mary, hair of gold and lips like cherries.
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to meet me, arms reaching, smiling sweetly.

Good morning, everyone! Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home! Lots of unpacking left to do, and several days worth of photos to clean up, but at least I can drink a proper sized cup of tea again! I brought more than enough tea with me on my trip, but because we were moving from location to location every day, I never was able to pick up a large enough cup to suit me! The waiters tend to look at you oddly when your request three tea cups of boiling water...
So now it's my extra large tankard in front of me, filled with East India Company's "Royal Breakfast" tea, and a bowl of miso soup, rice, and tsukemono. There's no place like home!

These days Japan's mail service is incredibly fast. One day anywhere inside Japan. We even have a package delivery service (similar to Fed-EX or UPS) that is also one day anywhere inside the country. And cheap too! I often use it when traveling and need to bring many different bags or suitcases to or from the airport. They will pick up from my house and deliver to their counter inside the airport terminal (and vise versa) overnight.

Another mug of 'Royal Breafast,' then it's time to start the drudge work part of my labors. Fun is over, now it's computer time...
