As for my word-choice of "wrong," it's just that I did not want to use the tried and true phrase "long, strange trip." And "wrong" just seemed to fit. Don't read too much into it. :-)
I hope you find the coming posts interesting, and hope you find plenty to laugh about.
And if you never make it to Japan, you'll never have to take it seriously. Just enjoy this vicarious experience, and have a good laugh or two.
