Like the title says, I'm in Japan as I type this.

And I have a camera.

And a website.

I've been blogging and taking some pictures every day, and I thought I'd share with everyone my website. Perhaps someone will find it of interest? I hope so.

Check it out here: http://www.bluebomber.com/japan/

Let me know if you like it!

awesome, good stuff

Most excellent...sounds like you're having a helluva time there!

Montanan · Mar 11, 2003, 10:46 AM

Very, very nicely done ... keep it up!

I love reading travelogues, and you're doing a great job with yours.

Check out my mom's site for her transcontinental bike ride.

She's got her new iBook and Canon S230 on the road with her.

It ain't as fancy as BlueBomber's, and there aren't any cute Japanese girls, but it's a travelogue....

very cool.

Thanks for taking time to share your trip with us

finboy · Mar 11, 2003, 12:21 PM

Yeah man, very neat. And thanks for letting us read about it.

If you didn't have "Yellow Fever" before going to Japan, I'll bet you come back with it.

Nice pics. Man, I wish I was there. I took some pics from MWSF, find them here.

**** you, ass.

Bluebomber21XX · Mar 11, 2003, 10:26 PM

Yeah, that's rather derogatory. Too bad you can't see past skin color.

Sucks for you.

Very nice blog, Bluebomber. I want to setup something like that for my future vacations (and send the links to friends, relatives to make them jealous

).

Are you making these pages by hand? Template?

Pretty cool ... now I've got yet another person to be jealous of!

I've never done a travel blog before, but when I head overseas I do send e-mail travelogues out to family and friends. Someday they'll be on a website, but for now I'm just starting to gather them together on a LiveJournal page:

Mark's travelogues

No pictures, yet, but there are a few interesting stories ... and there will be more later.

[WARNING- not for work]

Japan and a camera huh? You should take pictures like the ones found here and make yourself some money!

Kenneth · Mar 12, 2003, 01:09 AM

Sorry I only posted a mean message earlier, I was rather upset and just left the thread. However, I really must say I love your page's eloquent design along with the written accounts of your travels. Keep up the excellent work as it will be a great memento for your trip.

P.S. I love your name, domain, etc!! Megaman has always been a favorite series of mine. I have the Japanese versions of Rockman EXE 1 & 2 for my GBA. It's kind of hard to get through them though, as my Japanese skills aren't fantastic.

Cubeoid · Mar 12, 2003, 03:26 AM

Great little log you have going, nice site design too. I always enjoy reading personal travel stories. Have a great time. I can't wait to go to Tokyo. >_<

Bluebomber21XX · Mar 15, 2003, 01:41 AM

Hi! Sorry I haven't been updating my site! I fully plan on doing it, I just need some time to catch up on my days! Internet access has been sporadic, so...

Thanks for all the kind words, guys! Actually, I normally have much more content up (my site is based around a SNES game called Rockman & Forte, which is also being re-released on GBA), but it's down pending a re-design.

And yes, I do all my sites by hand, mostly. I make my site in Photoshop, cut it up in ImageReady, and edit everything else by hand. Kind of tedious sometimes, but I've found it produces the best-looking sites.

Well, I'm off to Osaka tonight! I'll talk to everyone later.
