Another blogless day………
Traveling was every bit the pain in the ass I expected it to be…even on JAL. The flight to Korea is a short one however. The Bus ride from Incheon though…..well that is another story. Incheon is a beautiful airport. Normal fal-de ral getting through immigration et al. Then finding

Out and about town that is. Having gotten our cars all properly registered, we decided to put them to some use this evening. Out to Kura sushi for dinner. ( All plates 105 yen!). After gorging myself on 15 plates ( and thus tying my previous record….), I rolled out
