Over one hundred years since the advent of powered flight and the reality for folks like me is that for 17 of the next 24 hours I will be sat with over one hundred others in a small cylinder of Aluminium hurtling through the sky at over 500mph. With nothing but a small TV set, the old iPod Touch and enough airline food to fill a 2hr stand-up set, the prospect of speeding through 10 time zones seems almost like a good idea.
If I surive the zombifying process of 'economic travel' the reward will be experiences not even the little screen on the the back of a seat could give. I hope that you'll enjoy reading of someone else's tales from the land of raw fish (and then deep fried foods of all kinds!). Your author will try to keep his reading several up-to-date, but I doubt that Japan has much in the way of modern electronics....

jane hughes hope you arrived safe and not too traumatized.
Matt Darlington Land and well. Had to find adapter today and cannot blog from the kindle. The phones all seemed too expensive so I'm going to wait until the state's. You can message me here to keep in touch. Just about to get some food, already had the squid dish Emmi suggested and had a good chat with the street vendor too! Loads of love and I'll call as soon as I'm at Judy's xxx
jane Got your blog on shortcut on my phone so no problem following you.Have a great trip Xxxx
Judy I checked for data plans and stuff and you can get a data only sim from B-Mobile apparently. That may work.. :) Otherwise the small community of Conant will be happy to grant the member from Strines full access to all electronic communication links. Have fun Kid, see you soon xx
Matt Darlington Thanks for looking Judy, we can have a look when I arrive. The gracious offer of communication use is warmly accepted xx
Peter Darlington Great to know you will be catching upon your blog in LA . I suppose your feet touched down fleetingly in Japan an then for the next two weeks your feet have nt touch the ground again. I never thought I would say this but I look forward to seeing some of your holiday snaps.! Is it as fast as they say it is. I understand the buildings are no sooner put up over there before they then decide to knock them down and start again, although the Japanise economy has been flat for a long time. Just opened your blog for the first time so will be checking out the kid from strines who loves to dine and rarely wines, does it with fear , helped on by beer, cause your the man, who knows he can , without being rude , beat all the records set by "MAN V FOOD.. Just trying out some LA rap , which as you say is really crap. ps. Keep lots of notes as well , otherwise you will forget all too easily what you have been up to. very proud of you. BIG HUGS X
George Remember: Man with one chopstick go hungry. & Man who fishes in other man's well often catches crabs. Just some Japaneses proverbs to help you on your travels.
Matt Darlington But remember: man who uses one chopstick to fish in neighbors well catches crabs, but doesn't go hungry
