Is that awesome or what?
I GET TO MEET JAIME!!!!
I also invited Mayu, and she is so excited to come (and see Jaime again) as well. I tried this morning to get everything arranged, but couldn't pull it off. So I asked Mayu if she could do it (I'm at work, she's at home), and she did. That is fabulous. Thank you, Mayu!!
I love you!
Cam
Very cool..... For some reason I thought you had already met Jamie? Well, its about time. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave fun, and enjoy the Dalai Lama! OMG I am so jealous!!! I read a few of his books last year. He seems like someone who has things figured out a bit more than the norm. Enjoy and looking forward to the blog about it all.
Have fun. Notice you won't see me there. Come to think of it, you never see me and the Dalai Lama in the same room... hmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteIs it:
a) because we are the same person?
or
b) because, if we met, we'd have to have a Jiu-jitsu battle for the ages?
Say hi to Jaime for me. And Mayu!
Paula - I HAVE met her... I am just trying to meet her again since I moved here 8 months ago. And I haven't been able to.
ReplyDeleteMatt - Thanks! It was the only way I could get Jaime out of her box... to get the Dalai Lama to come to Yokohama. I'll give her a hug for you (both of them) if you'd wish. But since I don't do jiu-jitsu, I won't be crushing them. Oh, and are we getting together soon?
To be fair, I've been off base quite a bit.... just not always when you're available! ;o)
ReplyDeleteoh, erm, and not always in Tokyo... I'm a huge fan of Mt Takao :oD
ReplyDeleteCool. Takao-san is right at the very end of my line.
ReplyDeleteThat place is SO FREAKING COOL. I love love love it!!!! So many great stories, fab places for pics, great hikes, incredible views.......
ReplyDeleteI loooove Mt Takao, for sure! Firewalking too! Ye gads! ;o)
Have you seen the stone octopus?
