Back to Japan

No, I didn't go back and have no plans to go at the moment. I'd be more than happy to go back, for sure, but funding has to be in place. What I did do was create a little fly-by of some of the cities, towns and villages I visited. This is in Google Earth. As hip a program as Google Earth is, it is also very frustrating. I won't go into the details. Suffice it to say that I (and many others, if you read the forums) think they could do better.

That means rather than embedding the tour here for you to watch, you will have to download the file and watch it in Google Earth. That of course means you have to have Google Earth. It is a free program and you can download it [here].

Below is the download button for the tour file. It is 20.1 MB. If it stops downloading before that, it will not work. Just try it again. Open it with Google Earth and enjoy. The "street views" in the tour don't always resolve. Just click once on the image, it will stop the tour and resolve the image. In the left-hand corner of the browser you will see a "Play" button, click that and move on.

Happy viewing.

As of 09/26/14, the sound is improved.
