Hi Jun!! It's so great to be here! I'm sure you will be the best hostess! But maybe nearer the end of the holiday you will be pushing us out on the street to fend for ourselves! Maybe I've saved a few secret presents in the bottom of my luggage, just to be sure! We'll try to be low maintainence guests!

Actually, we have the saying "if you love your kids, let them travel alone, even it would be a tough one (to experience lots of thing)".

Ah, Messina. The connoisseur's Jaffa Cake!

(PS: I know I spelt it incorrectly, but Jun! You have a filter which doesn't allow me to write i-n-a. Is this a rude word in Japanese or something?)

(Argh. I meant "i-n-o".)

Hello James and sorry about the filter - it should work fine now.

Hi Jamesu, I haven't tried the Jaffa Cake yet. It looks good! By the way, i-n-a doesn't mean anything rude in Japanese!

...and even "ino"? That's not rude either? I know lots of useless Japanese words, but no swear words so far. And maybe it should stay that way? Thanks for a quick fix, Carsten, although I thought it was quite charming. I probably won't be writing "Messino" for quite some time now (although I'm happy I'll now safely be able to post comments on Jun's upcoming "Lat-ino" dance classes, or the next visit to the "Philipp-ino" restaurant down the street). It was nice to get a little warning message which triggers your mind to come up with all kinds of crazy reasons.
