Right, this will be my last post from Russia. I'm in Vladivostok now and have been for a couple of days and I fly out tommorow to Toyama in Japan.
There isn't a whole lot to do here in Vladivostok but It's a nice enough place on the coast and having finally gotten used to things here strangly probably the easiest time I've had as well. It's really been the standard run of museums and the like here but being right on the coast somehow gives everything a nicer atmosphere.
The train journey to get here was just a train Journey. There isn't a whole lot to say about it but I did meet some more interesting people. I'd guess my final comment on the Tran-Siberian is that the stops are far more interesting than the journey. But it is nice to be able to say I've done it.
As I said I'm flying to Japan tommorow so with any luck the next posting will be from Toyama, a city I don't actually know a great deal about. I'm staying there for two nights and then plan to start down the coast to Kanazawa.
See you in Japan!

Do Japanese computers come with Japanese keyboard as standard or is that an extra?

Right, just in reply to what Graham asked, I don't know what's standard, but Japanese keyboards sure are confusing to type on. You don't realise how much you rely on touch-typing until someone goes and moves some of the keys.
