We can't turn our back on you Americans for a second! We leave the country for 2 months and you let the economy slide to the point where you are bartering chickens on the street. This must be George Bush's final slap to America's face before leaving office. "Take that", says he. John McCain appears to have visited the crossroads in his evil campaign tactics, but it looks like Palin is such a national joke to the intelligent 60% of you that Obama seems safe from her new diatribe.
Enough of this jibber jabber! We are fine. Working way too much, but I guess that is life. We were down to our last 40 cents yesterday (literally), but we just got paid and are rollin' in it! We are going to Japan on Friday to study the advancement of toilet technology. (No kidding, they are years ahead of everyone, it should be investigated). We wanted to sleep in one of those hotel capsules where you just have enough room to lay down but luckily we are staying with our good friends Rene and Ben. We will definately post many pictures on our return.
Nothing much to report on food-wise, but we did go to a wonderful Taiwanese pot luck where we enjoyed shark. It was really good, quite gelatinous. Chicken feet were offered, but I had gone down that road before and respectfully declined.
I have been trying to over come my fear of heights by going to the largest ferris wheel in Asia (pictured here for reference), taking a gondola up to the mountains, and running across a small bridge at 40 stories up between buildings, but it seems to intensify the higher up I get. Maybe I need more delicious Taiwan Beer......

Hi M & M,
I LOVE reading your well-written, entertaining blog. Keep us posted on your adventurous lives.
love you two,
Mom
Dear Mike and Maggie,
Thanks for the update! I'm so glad you are there enjoying the people and places...since there are so many ungly americans travelling around the world asking for iced water and NOT eating the local foods! You're the best!
Enjoy your days and stay well,
Love, Aunt Mary Jo
Beware of the bidet button on those Japanese toilets...they can be scary, but be sure to take full advantage of the flushing sound button...it really does help you relax ;) I love you guys! Give hugs and kisses to Ben and Rene for me, and hit up the sushi train resteraunt at the top of their street...so cheap, so good ;)
Diatribe for Obamalie! Do you guys get to vote absentee?
