Thanks for sharing!

Soo many memories.

Soo much squid!

Soo many "almost missed" connections, including various boat and train rides.

Scary how many photos I'm featured in, or my food is ;)

Hope 2022 will come to fruition, and I can arrive earlier than 2019. Very happy I made it to at least some of that DO!

Wow! Is that what it looks like where you are now?

There have been two post-Dos (in addition to Korea Do in 2017 which was a Do in its own right) where some people got to know their fellow FTers in a way they may not have expected! These warnings were posted for those attending the post-Do in 2015.

Here are some photos from the post-Do at Kurokawa Onsen in 2015

Tateno Station where some FTers were stranded. The station and the railway line were destroyed in an earthquake a year later and were only partially restored in August 2020.

and Noboribetsu Onsen in 2019. Hard to believe that was the most recent Japan Do. :(

Yup- had some fresh Easter snow yesterday :D

Where is this??

Folks who came on the post-do trip to Kurokawa Onsen in 2015 may remember we couldn’t go near Mt Aso (or see it for that matter!) due to volcanic activities. Thanks to kpc for reminding me. Here’s a video of an eruption this morning. The beginning of the video is quite dramatic.
