    Hey readers, we’re back from Japan! We had an awesome time, Japan is such an amazing country. If you’ve never been I highly recommend that you go.

    Also now that October is drawing to an end if you have been thinking of purchasing cards or prints from the store then please get your orders in asap to make sure that they arrive in time for Christmas!

    I went to Japan a few times. The last time was a couple of years ago didn't see any rocket boots but I bought my mom a ceramic knife for the house. I also got a Yukata the time before! It is an awesome country to visit! I want to bring my husband next time since he never left the US before and wanted to visit Japan since forever. BTW I love the "free hat"!

    True facts. Japan cannot be explained, only experienced X3;
    They're also masters at including free gifts with purchase D: I acquired so much stuff that I never sought out just from buying drinks at the store.

    So, when you said you were off to Japan for 2 weeks, I thought...that's cool, its not that long, she deserves a vacation. But when your comics didn't get updated for 2 weeks I realized that 2 weeks is A LONG TIME!! Missed the art, glad you had fun, but also glad you're home :D

    I went to Japan last year for a couple of weeks, stayed with a host family, and LOVED IT!!! When I am finished with grad school, I definitely plan on taking another trip there! I should probably brush up on my Japanese...and learn how to ask for rocket boots.

    Warning! Rocket boots + short skirt = danger! Or the risk of a very Japanese pantyshot, at least.

    I live in Japan and love it so much! It's one of those places where even the most normally mundane of things can become an adventure. I totally agree that Japan cannot be explained, only experienced. It seeps its way into you and you will love it forever :D

    Listen to Kate Bush's Rocket's Tail on Youtube.
    ...it starts out awesome, then crescendos to:
    I put on my pointed hat and my black and silver suit
    And I, I check my gunpowder pack
    And I strap the stick on my back
    And dressed as a rocket on Waterloo Bridge
    Nobody seems to see me
    Then with the fuse in my hand
    And now shooting into the night
    ...then the song becomes freakin' epic...

    Watch. Waaaaaatchhcch!
