Well, I am sitting in a Yahoo Internet Cafe here in Tokyo’s Narita Airport looking out over a number of planes standing at gates. The access is free, but you have to use their machines. Not a huge problem, except that they have Japanese keyboards – press the wrong button (like one of the ones on either side of the space button – it is not big enough to be a bar) and the thing starts trying to convert everything that you type into Japanese characters. Clever, but not easy for somebody who doesn’t understand any Japanese to turn off.

I will probably upload some photos from Tokyo when I arrive in Taipei – did not have internet access in my room last night because I had to move to a new room in a different part of the hotel.
