Have a great time on your trip!
I just finished reading your newsletter. I can really relate to lots of the comments in the Q&A. There were points in my life I could have written those. Glad to say that I am overcoming most of those concerns. I'm not concerned about being up to par with anyone else anymore.
I can't really claim the link is for the weekly challance though as I finished it 3 days ago, but thought I'd share anyway. It's not a LO but is an entry in my FUN BOOK I started from taking a class on-line.
Your topic this week is totally connected to my current interests! Thanks Ali! You're awesome!
PS - I hope the link works

You will have an amazing time!
I was an exchange student in high school and loved every minute I was in Japan. Look out for all of the cool shoes and purses!

Don't forget "sho-sho omachi kudasai" (please wait a moment in Japanese!) when you get swamped by wild Japanese scrappers!
Ali, I'd love to see some of the Japanese scrappers' work while you're there.

Your wonderful blog has become a part of my daily life and it's so great! I get so excited about your adventures and reading about them or anything new that you talk about, especially when you're away. I check the blog constantly to see if you've written in from afar! I know you'll post soon! Hope you're having a great journey and that the jet lag isn't too bad! Scrapping in Japan - unbelievable!!!!
