goki> looks like i am here for another year...
ben, did you bet on the grand prix race you went to? i really regret missing it but i really had no time. i stayed a day longer in osaka (JR pass had expired) and had to purchase a full price shinkansen ticket to tokyo! no regrets though
another year in wakayama? good, i'll look forward to more onsen in dec/jan haha!
