Japan

So far, in my relatively limited scope of world travel, Japan is possibly the most amazing place I've ever been to. I've never been anywhere else where I've felt like such "an ignorant American". I say that out of total respect for Japan- the people are so nice and generous, gracious, respectful, dignified and elegant. It makes me feel coarse and rough. I've never been anywhere cleaner either. Tokyo is a city of about 20 Million people and I have not seen one cigarette butt on the ground.


I'll have more later- promise- but I have to get ready to leave and visit bike shops in the city today; I am VERY excited about that.
