Lost in Translation
When in Japan, not only is it Suntory time but the Sophia Coppola movie come to life．I`ll be brief - my Apple Laptop died an untimely demise and I`m in hell! I lost all 4000 photos I ever took on this trip, all my journals and every second of music I ever downloaded. I`m miserable and I just yelled at this funny-faced Japanese cybercafe dude because I can`t read a thing on this foreign internet screen. If I could drown my sorrows in sushi and sake I would but that would cost me another mini-mortgage in this country. A short 15 minute taxi cab ride cost a ridiculous $25 in Hiroshima today. I nearly fainted. If and when I can get through this computer crisis I`m sure I`ll find something redeaming about Kobe, Kyoto and Kareoke but all I keep wanting is email access back. That won`t happen until I can get it to a specialist in the middle of December. So, all my family and friends, please email me at my new address, sonyss_@excite.com (don`t forget the underscore!) Now, time to figure out how to find a subway back to the boat...no more taxi`s for me.

Happy belated bday by the by..and hey u have gr8 legs so chin up! P.S.not gay here...not that there's anything wrong wit that..was just calling a spade a spade;-)
Happy trails.
Sonja to bad about the laptop but if you had a dell it would not have happened.Japan is very costly now,well back in the 60's it was cheap.Did you get your e-card if not happy birthday beautiful.
WE have a lot of your photos, Sony, dont' worry, Joe also said he can help you get your data back. come see us when you get back we'll fix you up.
My computer bit the dust not too long ago and I took it to Compusa and they were able to transfer my documents on a CD so that I was able to copy them to a new computer. You might check it out
My Dell died a few weeks ago and all it was, was a power supply. Japan is the best place to have a crisis like that because all you buy is made there.
Go get it checked out.
And, the emails we tried to send from Japan last year arrived in the states in Japanese, so it just isn't you...and the screen would jump from English to Japanese all the time....
