Well, since we were paying so little to do so much we could be a little flexible about what we did on the journey itself. Things took with us, if between sections we saw a nice eatery etc and we had time then ok, and as we got further north maybe a beer or two. (Maybe! ;o) ). And, of course, just the challenge too! Of course, what was a spolier was that upon arrival in Aomori there was absolutely NOWHERE to stay. Zenzen. Found a bar open til 2 then it was a case of just crashing outside the eki! I for one managed to get some sleep and was, thus, awake for the trip under the sea to Hokkaido next day.I wonder, has anyone else EVER done that trip as an excuse to do using a Seishun-Juhachi kippu?? A lotta distance, lotta time but just £10 to do all that in Japan. Expensive(TM) country that it is of course.. http://www.travelrewardscards.net/

As an update, my China Visa Problem looks (keeping fingers crossed) to be solved. I made it over to Shanghai on a sleeping train, got the additional booklet of pages, and then made it back to the Visa renewal place with 1 day to spare in Wuhan. The guy said “no problems” to me, but these are the words I sometimes loathe. Anyway, I’ll find out for sure next week if I will run into additional problems.As an aside, a friend of mine was telling me that he had a friend who went a few days over without renewing his visa and was charged 500 RMB / day. This should be incentive enough to keep within the deadlines of extending your visa.Good luck everyone! http://www.eben-uk.org/

This is great! I have two questions:1. How do you write in a voice that distinctive from your own? What I mean is, when I write fiction, I seem to get stuck either in an overly reflective first person that's far too similar to how I write journals, or in a chatty, wry, vaguely 19th century third person omniscient that's far too similar to the way I narrate my life in my head. Do any have any tips for developing a new style?2. Is it difficult for you put your characters through bad events or write them doing bad things? Especially if you don't intend for them to have a happy ending later? http://www.eben-uk.org/ http://www.comparecashbackcards.net/

Good luck on the move to Wuhan. I hope you continue to post and I would be especially interested to know how you fare professionally with buying and selling products. (Will you be sourcing?) Many expats in China and those who plan to be would be interested as well. It’s something folks can do on the side and on flexible terms, so there is much room for creativity and flexibility.I’ll be moving to Ningbo for a new job. Like Wuhan, it’s relatively off the beaten expat path. I am thinking of starting a professional blog since I am getting somewhat into a niche subfield in my area. When do you actually move to Wuhan? And, yes, fewer English speakers will boost your Mandarin. Be sure to study some grammar and additional sentence patterns as there are some key ones at the intermediate level that help take your Mandarin to new heights. Reply:July 19th, 2011 at 10:43 pmHi Obio,I moved to Wuhan earlier this month and have quickly realized some of the differences between a secondary/tertiary city and Shanghai. I hope to post more about it in the future, but I will need to take time to get this move under control while working on some additional sites.Again, let me know if I can help you in any way promote your ideas on moving to Ningbo. http://www.comparecashbackcards.net/

congrats on your return to the US!!! i was glad to hear that you made it back safely i had a very good 2012 running wise -i was injury free for the whole year (a first for me!), i ran 1430 miles total, pr’d in the 1 mile, 5k, 4 mile, 15k, and 1/2 M distances, AND ran my first full M. my goals for 2013 include a plank a day for increasing core strength, keeping my weekly long run to a minimum of 10-15 miles to maintain a strong base, train for and complete my first Tri in March, and complete a second full M in the fall. i’ll be excited to see your progress as you train also!! Happy New Year! http://www.eben-uk.org/ http://www.lowaprcard.net/

I have been looking closely at picture number 1 and picture number 3.They don't seem to be of the same submarine.In the 1st picture there appears to be a rather standard-looking Yuan albeit with the lower portion of the hull blurred out.I suspect this may have been done to remove the details of the hull-mounted sonar arrays.The sail looks like that of its predecessors' as does that portion of the casing that is clearly visible.In the 3rd picture, the sail of this submarine is very long, and does not seem to carry the same pair of hydroplanes as does the sub on pic number 1.Also the forward part of the the upper casing carries slots for the forward-mounted hydroplanes to retract into - ala' Kilo.While in previous pictures of the Yuan, the designers were careful to blend the forward part of the hull cleanly into the upper casing making for a smooth transition with less turbulence, drag and noise, in the 3rd picture there is the ugly step.Is it possible these are not pictures of the same submarine? http://www.eben-uk.org/

Hi John: When I tested the link, I was forwarded to PayPal to make a payment for the class, so I’m not sure if I can figure out the problem when you tried to register. What I can do is send a PayPal request to the e-mail you have on file with us, and you can make a payment that way. However, we cannot offer a discount to Member-Owners for this event, because the proceeds are being donated to the Texas Craft Brewers Guild to assist in the next legislative session. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and you should receive a PayPal request via e-mail. http://www.lowaprcard.net/ http://www.eben-uk.org/

trains are often just not practical compared to other options. Case in point, target of stimulus dollars Chicago to Minneapolis route. I have taken this Amtrak train and currently it takes from around 5am leaving the Minneapolis area and arriving in Chicago's Union Station at approximately 5pm. Even with a higher speed train at the cost of many billions of tax payer dollars, the time could not possibly improve airplane ranges. Only one of these superfast ones or maglev Shanghai style could even approach it and they are even less financially feasible. A fare of several hundreds of dollars for a long train ride is just not comparable to a $69 dollar Southwest one way that gets you there in 1.5 hours. Security you say at the airport? Trains will have that one day as soon as one incident occurs.Any of these projects are market distortions, taking money from all taxpayers to divert to the preferences of some. Sure, I'd be happy with the Minnesota to Chicago train occasionally wasting a Saturday but not for many others, time is too precious. http://effectiveedmedicine.com/ http://priceforerection.com/
