Hi, everybody.
I’ve worked on learning Japanese off and on for a while, but I have never really set a goal and worked to achieve it. This year that changes. A few months ago, I took my first ever trip to Japan, and I wished I had more knowledge of (and confidence in what little I knew of) the language. I’m going to make the next trip different.
Where did you go to exactly in Japan? How long did you stay? I want a recap! It is exciting to go to other countries, isn’t it?
Every drop in the bucket helps fill it!How exciting that you were able to visit Japan! Any chance you’d be willing to share more about your trip? Good luck with your studies!
I went this past September, and by the time I got home, I was already working on a plan for a return trip. :)
We spent a majority of the time in Tokyo, but we also made quick trips to Sendai and Niigata. I still have a couple of days to write about, but here is what I’ve posted on my site so far.

And some pictures HERE. (The pictures on my webpage are huge and take forever to load. Here are some of the better ones in a facebook album.)
I came back from Japan two years ago this past September, and I know the feeling of wanting to plan another trip there immediately. In fact, I did go on another trip that November (though for various reasons, I wound up going to America and New Zealand instead).
AnonymousFFS Joel you should of hit me up when you came to NZ. I would of totally not taken you anywhere.
Would of been so much fun.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your blog posts! I’m looking forward to reading them. :)
And have to listen to you spawn atrocities like “should of” and “would of”, BB? I think not. =P
Besides, this was two years ago, before I started on TextFugu, and I only visited Auckland and bits north of there.
AnonymousI’m in Hamilton, Auckland is only an hour away.
COULD OF gone out and smashed all the females.
All of them.
Ok, I finished reading your blog. I’m not a great fan of baseball, I admit, but I was enjoying reading about your travels and perusing your photos. Write more nao, plz. Love reading others’ travel blogs. =P
Little amused by your comment that you can see the Skytree from all over Tokyo. When I was there in 2010, it was still under construction. I spotted it from Kiba Park, and was intrigued by that tallish tower I could see in the middle distance. It wasn’t until I saw it later from near Tokyo Station looking almost exactly the same that I realised it was much further away – and much, much taller – than I’d originally thought it was.
I’d also like to revisit Ochanomizu Station, and the others along the Kandagawa. I passed through there on my way from the Ghibli Museum, and was intrigued by the view, but my only actual stop there was after dark, and I didn’t realise just how close it was to the river.
P.S. BB, if you actually look like your avatar, I’ll consider visiting. =P
