Comment on Eiheiji and Ichirino hot spring by Larry

I never went to Eiheiji when I was in Japan, but I always wanted to. When I was a Zen monk in San Francisco in the early ’90s, we always talked about going there. As far as onsens/ryokans go, I have always like the ones I’ve visited.

Good post, John!

The Nankai could join forces with the Tokai, and hit us here in Nagoya too. The power of Nature…

Crazy. The Nankai Daijishin is kinda terrifying. I re-stocked and added to my Go-bag Earthquake Survival Kit.

Hi Robert, and thanks for dropping in!

Glad you’re enjoying the blog – I’m sorry it’s not updated a bit more often. There are some posts in the pipeline but i keep getting distracted by linuxy things like that shoutcast script…

Japan will need a long time to recover fully from 3/11, especially the nuclear waste issue which is still not at all sorted out, but although the region hit by the earthquake and tsunami is still devastated and things are very hard for the people who lived there, for the rest of us life goes on more or less as normal. Electricity is going to be a bit short this Winter apparently.

It’s still a special country.

Hi!

I switch between Mint and Bodhi Linux– both set with the Fluxbox window manager (Although sometimes I play with Enlightenment).

Just wanted to thank you for your script for the shoutcast-tuner which suits me very well. (I found it at the Crunchbang Forums.)

I also liked reading some of your blogs and viewing your photos.

I stay heartbroken about the Sendai quake and Fukashima disaster. It is some reassurance to me however that people like you do not give up because you obviously love Japan.

I send my best wishes.

They’re a bit slow sometimes, but I’m trying to keep sort of up to date. I’ve got a list of things to write about, but keep getting sidetracked by other computer activities, and run out of time…

Thank you for your patience!
