Actually I think they look quite sexy.  But since I am so pale skinned,
anyone darker than me looks sexy!!

I love it! Especially how the journal is scanned in from his original
handwritten scribbles. Not typing them in was the smartest thing you could ever
do (and one I'd never have thought of, damn it).

I'm putting a link up to it on the front page of my site. Maybe some folks will
wander over.

He thought writing the journal was the suckiest part, but I 
think it's the unsuckiest.

In Australia, when we go to the cricket or the beach, we put plenty of
that white stuff (zinc cream) on our nose and lips.  Maybe those girls
are following this classic aussie yobbo fashion.

fuzz vests?

is some paint....

Don't you guys know about the "Ganguro"s / Black faced girls? =) You
probably
don't live in japan then... =P You see them on tv ALL THE TIME these days
and on the
streets... =)  They are really funny to look at! Basically they look like
golliwogs =)
And they really a BLACK in real life, i doubt it is paint. =)

Too bad I can't find any sites with good ganguro pics! If anyone knows any..
please let me know! = )

The site is really fun and interesting! = )
I think though the girls on the first page look a bit distorted? =)

Sounds like a really fun trip for you guys!!!! = )

Nah.... I'd agree with him, having had to write "Wot I Did On My Hols"
essays in the past. Putting photos on the web has to be more fun.

I had to access it twice, on different machines, because it loaded so
painfully slowly on my slowpoke 56K modem. It's a bit faster with a
cable modem, though. 

BTW, some of the longer captions run off the edge of the picture
frame--but that might be because I'm using a Japanese system on the Mac,
so the font may be different.

<snicker> I'm looking forward to your posts on your first impressions of
Japan....

> They look like people dressed up in blackface

I prefer to call the look "reverse panda", since they aren't wearing
tight fuzzy black wigs. Note that there's a completely different
subspecies who sport technicolour dreadlocks.

No, I promise it almost always is. I asked my ganguro friends.

I'm getting better at faking pictures all the time. I'll post 
one of my whole family on a "Puffy" cd cover sometime soon.

I know that was a montage... i mean they all look kinda squashed up because
your original welcome pic was much wider than it is supposed to be isn't it?
= ) Even your nephew looks squashed because you defined the picture size in
the HTML. =)

Fantastic page, Bryan.
And who's the beautiful bit of alright in white we see in a couple of the
pictures, hanging off your arm?
Well done on that front too ;)
