Yeah, I know a lot of people who hate crowds--it's a pretty reasonable fear. <BR/>I know you were hoping I'd blog more on Japan--I'm sorry! But I promise to keep writing when I'm in California.<BR/><BR/>Hi rae, <BR/>They make you swallow barium when you're going to have an x-ray exam of your esophagus and stomach. The barium is thick and white and coats everything as you swallow it, and somehow this makes everything show up on the x-ray. <BR/><BR/>Hi Jessica, <BR/>Promise to write more about moving to California right after this!<BR/><BR/>Hi Jaime, <BR/>Wow, all this time and I never suspected you had Hubba Bubba issues. You hide your fear well. <BR/><BR/>Hi GG, <BR/>I am alive! <BR/><BR/>Hi e, <BR/>I know, seems I'm leaving right as you're about to get here! The toughest part with Edward was figuring out what was expected from both sides, Japan and California. Spent A LOT of time chasing links from website to website. But I think we've got it all sorted out now. <BR/>Yes, it will be nice to live for a while in a place where I can speak better than a four year old.Rachelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17330126353040067086noreply@blogger.com
