  1. I've been in timezones the last 3 weekends that kept me from watching any games. That was probably for the best last weekend, ready to watch them turn it back around this weekend
  2. Just got back from Japan and Ms. MO fell in love with the toilets. We downsized several years ago and now just rent an apartment. If not, we would have bought one for every bathroom before we left the country. They are great
  3. They put a printed out stamp/sticker on it
  4. Did you go to the one close to Beijing? They said it was much more crowded than the place we went.
  5. Spent 5 days in country on cruise stops. Heading home but what an amazing country. Had no idea what to expect, but loved it. Definitely want to come back and explore more.
  6. On our way back home, and I gotta say, everyone on here who raved about Japan is 100% correct. I've traveled many places in the world but had never been to the Far East so really didn't know what to expect. This is an amazing country and the only thing better than the people is the food. We will definitely come back for a more extensive visit.
  7. Spent the day in Kochi. Kabuki paintings was fun, Castle was great, and the Ramen was outstanding.
  8. Cruise stopin Moji. A street fair was going on with great street food. Grilled squid and grilled tongue, and mochi with red bean paste.
  9. If you have a day with nothing planned a day trip on the ferry to Uruguay is fun. Where you dock has all kinds of shops and restaurants. Great place to spend the day.
  10. We had one from 7/11 a couple of weeks ago. It was fantastic.
  11. I'm currently on a cruise with Oceania. I've posted about them here before. The only thing about what you dread are the shore excursions, but you can always schedule your own tours with a private company and they'll meet you at the dock. We do the ship ones and just know what we're getting. Still get to see great things. Food is fantastic. They have 2 sizes of ships. Either around 850 or 1250. On a sea day when everyone is on board you can get a chair right by the pool and hot tub, and enjoy those. It's always very quiet. I won't sail on anything else. We'll book our next one before we get off, to get the extra perks they offer.
  12. I love La Estancia. Eaten there multiple times
  13. Climbed the Great Wall yesterday
  14. Just spent the last two days on Shanghai. What a great city. Will definitely go back.
  15. Having just spent four days in Tokyo, I get it. Mrs. Mo fell in love with them.
  16. We stayed Plaka for 3 days a while back, and hit all the major sites. I could have spent more time just exploring. We did a cruise with stops in santorini and mykonos. Both were fun and gorgeous, but busy and touristy. If I were to go back I'd rent a car and drive through the Peloponnese area. Might hit some lesser islands.
  17. I had the best oyster of my life at the Tsujiki market today. That and several other bites made for a great lunch. Went to a Tokyo Giants baseball game tonight. Lots of fun. Went to the Hall of Fame that's at the stadium as well.
  18. https://news.sky.com/story/pope-francis-has-died-the-vatican-says-12890455 After meeting him, the pope could no longer stand being alive
  19. Did a couple of temples and shrines today and more wandering. Found a great place for lunch bowls. Tonight we're doing a multi course dinner with unlimited sake. This is a great city.
  20. Got to Tokyo yesterday. Pretty much just navigated the metro for the first time to our hotel and then walked around for a while. Didn't want anything to heavy so hit up a 7/11 for a rice triangle and an egg salad sandwich and then crashed. Will start exploring later today.
  21. Was thinking the same thing. I'd rather save him if we need him tomorrow
