Had to think for a minute who Don was!!!! Clicked on that its my little boy!! I call him Ian!! Anyway, thought I'd let you know your blog has kept me and his old man entertained and we think its just great. Don/Ian will no doubt tell us more hilarious tales - he lands at Heathrow tomorrow!!! Wonder if Australia and New Zealand will be as funny as Japan - capsules, bullet trains and Nazi's sound weird!!! Happy travelling!!

Ey up Gem,
So glad you're having a wonderful time, have you eaten lots of yummy sushi yet? Tell me the best think you've had and I'll get it the next time I go to the Japanese in Brixton (It might make me look more like I know what I'm doing. I've had Salmon teriakki for the last 3 years)
Loads of love, keep us all up to date and give my love to jim

Hey Gem
What is "ascetism"?
I think you should sing a Pulp song Common People perhaps.
The blog is awesome, keep it up and take care.

Hey Gem, just getting ready for my weekend in Manchester but thought I'd quickly send you a message before! I'll Facebook you the details when I return, hope you're having a fantastic time hon (it certainly sounds like it). Hurry up and get back though, we're all missing you and I'm guessing that the sales have plummeted at The Bless in your absence ;-) Lots of love, H xxxx

"I don't want to have to punch a monkey.." is now your official motto (until you tell me otherwise, at least).
Blog's looking fab, and it sounds like you're having a great time.
Lots of Love,

Hi Gem
Just read about your first couple of days and I am sooo jealous - it all sounds fantastic, just what life should be about, having adventures with people you love.
I was showing Milly where you are on a map and she says hello.
Nothing new to report here - work has been excruciatingly heavy this week, at least it's pay day and a bank holiday weekend.
You are missed big time by all in the office, I have a little sigh to myself each time I see your name on Co-Efficient.
Love

Hey lovely, you guys didn't have anything to do with that escaped monkey in a Tokyo train station that's been on the news today did you? Mmmm, suspicious ;-) Thanks for the message earlier Gem, I'll send you a longer reply when I get a chance. Don't be glued to a computer screen for the best part of 3 months and enjoy your surroundings! (I hope Jim and Don finally woke up). Take care of each other.
Lots of love,
Heather xxx
