Hey everyone! It's me, Angela, coming from at you again from Tokyo. This will be my last update from Japan, cause we are headed home on Tuesday. So I am excited to go home!

We've been kind of all over ...travel is one of those things when you just do it really intensely, and by the end you're...ready to go. We did a lot of stuff, we did...so the first phase of our trip was skiing in Hokkaido, and the second phase of our trip was kind of the cultural phase, so we went all the way south on the Shinkansen on a bunch of different trains, we visited Kyoto, oh, it's Nagano first: Nagano, Kyoto, Himeji...and then Hiroshima, Miyajima island, and then back up to Tokyo and the last couple of days we've been doing some Tokyo stuff. We did a really fun bike tour yesterday and today we went to Akihabara, which is kind of the geek district of Japan and that's really fun. Look at all gachapon I got – these are all the different little gachapon things that I've bought because that was kind of number one thing I wanted to do: this is like a zen garden, this is Pacific Rim, oh man, this is a cat with sushi...

I should do another video which is just all the gachapon, but I've had a lot of fun collecting these. Most of them I’m gonna give away as kind of souvenir gifts for friends. This is the one that I bought for myself though and it’s is… actually I did not get it from a machine, I've got it from... kind of a place that specializes in older figures - and it's Naruto! Riding Gamachan (actually I was wrong it’s Gamabunta)

Oh man, I love Naruto so much, so this is my own personal treasure and these are all my other fun things that I've bought.

The comic is also going okay - I have that here. And, as you can see, I've had a little bit more time to work on it. So I've got some of the later pages a little bit more filled out now. But the train was not as productive as I hoped, for one thing it has some latent vibration in it that makes it difficult to do my inks so you can see, I, kind of, I had to stop at a certain point. But I am gonna go back and fill all these in as soon as I can. I'll probably do some work tonight.

And then hopefully I'll have that finished pretty soon and you can read it shortly after I get back. But that's all I have to say. I have a long flight and a lot of jet lag between me and being home, but I am excited to get back to my hermit lifestyle, but I've had a lot of fun stomping around Japan, and it’s a big life goal for me actually to get here and see it for myself. And now I feel like a have a concept for it, I know what it is.

So I will see you guys on the Internet pretty soon. See you there!
