Flickr is awesome!! I hope to add some great photos and articles from my travels to Japan next month. We will be travelling to Kyoto, staying for 3 nights, and day-tripping to Nara. I believe this is the original site of the original Imperial palace, and that during the second World War the Americans were ordered not to bomb this area because of its heritage value. Deer wander through the area, and for the tourist Nara has tremendous visitor appeal. Perhaps I will have a photo blog showing myself in front of this temple!! Stay tuned.

A Leap in Learning!

Blogging!! Its new to me. I have now learned something new. Its a young concept, its exciting and the challenge is to make this blog exciting enough for the people around me. Its got to be exciting enough to entice the young ones - i.e. the late teens of the family!
The real challenge is to continually 'blog' items of an interesting subject. Perhaps this is a healthy change from obsessing with how to spend the 'stimulation package' budget, e.g. what item/thing/trip etc.
The danger of having new knowledge as a mature age person, is that it is probably already old hat for the younger generation. For someone like myself who has just mastered the art of Skype and talking to family halfway around the world on video phone, and then bragging how conversations with people seem to be in the living room!
I can now badger my parents with more knowledge of new technology!!
