I love listening to the sound of rain and storms on CD as experiencing the real thing is quite rare. Having a self-contained room would be great though! That would be awesome!

I wonder if people would pay for something like that here in the US... The storm room looks and sounds like something I'd want to convert my own room into.

It's been a bit of a leanring experience for me too. Not used to blogging so freqeuntly and having to re-size pictures on the fly in MS-Paint. Glad it was interesting to read! I posted about the rafting expereince already, but I'm sure you've seen it :). Apparently that area in Shikoku is the best in Japan. Well worth a visit if you have the time! Thanks Dan.

Just plopped right down on the hot concrete road in front me. I had about 15 seconds to get some pictures before a car came and scared them off! Yeah, those dragonflies!

I liked the rusty van, the paintwork looked like an abstract. Then, I had a little laugh when I saw the dragonflies. Moreover, I haven't seen that kind of dragonfly before. The color was different.

Some of what I have read suggests that the biggest rapids of Yoshinogawa are downstream of Oboke and Koboke, but I imagine the views may be more impressive in those canyons. Anyway, I eagerly await your report. There is not a lot being written in English about kayaking/rafting on Shikoku. Hope you are able to get in the water.<br><br>-Dan Savage Your ability to blog as you go with great photos and text is pretty amazing. I could not do it.

Yep, Kagawa was good fun, but I'm back in Kansai now! Teshima and Naoshima are worth a try if you have time :). Cheers Craig. Yep, Kagawa was good fun, but I'm back in Kansai now!
