Dear Cyrus and Joichi,
I know you are busy but please if you can e-mail my friend Andrei Rublev and meet with him. He's in Tokyo now.
He's involved in a fascinating project, traveling around the world, followed by some 30 or more virtual travelers as he sends back reports of his trip.
Check out his pages on Tokyo (hot off the web):
http://www.interport.net/~fly/trip95/may28-29.html
then e-mail him directly from the page.
I'm cc: this e-mail to embarrass you my friend.
You two MUST meet. You're both doing great things.
Please. Please. Please

I said that because I ended up focussing on the Web project rather than on my own travel. This was in Hawai. Now in Japan, things are much different. There is so much to do that I hardly think of the Trip project. I just collect the info gathered during the day and paste it on my Web page.

I agree with all that and it is going to change. I'll follow your suggestion of making everybody's comments (you are the wordiest) available. It'll take a few days but it will be available.

No it's not. I had an interesting problem when I arrived in Japan (will talk about it later).

Yeah and it's better than I remembered...

To: FlyVision
Andrei,
I am *totally* enjoying your tour! At first I thought that I would be reading about it like flipping through some book about far away places. But I really feel connected. The fact that I'm reading about an experience that just recently happened give me the over whelming feeling that I am experiencing it as well.
I love the Maui food (home style cooking Hawiian potato chip! :) LOL). The mail tag was a good idea. I kept telling myself that I was going to write you, but would put it off until I was on AOL, but now I can give you my thoughts as they occure.
Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun. Say hello to Ann for me.
Ted
P.S. After I wrote the above I had trouble sending it via my netscape. So here I am on aol. I'll figure that damn thing out later.

Here is a little text for your page:
Cyrus Shaoul says:
I met Andrei in a cafe in Hiroo. I had just set up 3 machines to use the Net in that Cafe.
He seemed like a very nice chap, and I wished I could have talked to him more.
Sometimes when I meet people like him, who see the world with a fresh perspective, I remember that I used to goggle at the spectacle.
Now I AM the spectacle.
At least I have a Bic with a message in it to comfort me now.
Adieu, les enfants!

Hello, Andrei. Thanks for dinner the other night. Kako and I had a good time. I hope you enjoyed the Bauhaus. Friday was a good night because it wasn't too crowded.
I played golf on Sunday for the first time. It was fun, but it was a lot different than the driving range practice. I hope to play again soon.
I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Japan and please let us know how your trip to Bali goes.

Well Bali really wasn't what I expect.
Trance music, DJ's. So it has the traditional side (as I expected) and this Goa, Thailand, new age and hippie side of it.
Interesting. Didn't know this. Enjoying the trip although you're no longer are where I am (now traveling). Truly this is a web phenomena.

Hi, Andrei!
I have been visiting your pages and showing them to others. Did you get the message from me and the Brazilian art students? We visited your world tour several weeks ago. Carl, Susan, and Dr. payne are getting ready to go to China, Shanghai and Taiwan to set up connections with institutions there. I will be traveling via the net and we are going to try CUSeeMe from those places. Any suggestions? I know you have had some difficulty in getting on the reflector or staying on...Keep updating your site (I know you will)...this is really a great project. Actually it is in the spirit of "navigating global cultures"...I haven't had replies to some of my inquiries, so I am not certain you are actually receiving mail. Answer this one to let me know.
