Michael's got a girlfriend! And it seems pretty serious! Her name is Tomomi. She lives in Japan and Mike sees her quite a bit. He went home with her for Christmas and met the family. The family took him to an Onsen ( a public bath). Women and men are separated in the baths, but they are naked. Yep, Mike went traditional and said it was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he just went with the flow. He said the family is really nice and he got along really well with them.
Mike also stayed at one of the capsule hotels that are well-known in Japan. It's just a small capsule with a bed. There's a pull-down TV above the bed. The bathrooms are shared. Interesting!
Mike is heading out to sea for several months, so we won't hear too much from him until he gets back, but he wants everyone to know he's happy and healthy and in love. We miss him so much and hope to see him sometime in 2010.
