We went to this pretty huge mall in Narita. It was nice and had lots of shops to go to and check out. Me and Kenji mostly just spent our time taking purikuras. Nothing much happened. ^^ I will just share these purikuras with you.

I head back to Sapporo - after all it is pretty much the place to be to catch any connections around Hokkaido. I want to have a bit of a look of the city from above. Hence I do what I had thought about doing days ago - I head for the TV tower - the little building in the middle of Oddori Park w…

I had some meetups in a month with same guys. We really enjoyed nice communication all the time. Here are these joyful moments... on the 14th Oct,I met Dominic/BRYGGEN for the first time. He asked me a lot about Japanese travel info before he come to Japan. He always said to me that "Thank you for…

I've read a few things (and even been asked once or twice since arriving) that compare Tokyo to New York.  I suppose if you're unfamiliar or a visitor to either you'd come to this conclusion.  Sure, they're both ginormous metropolitan cities with a myriad things to recommend them.  T…

A few things I've noticed during my first day in Japan, that I find interesting:Taxi drivers all wear suits, and Taxi doors automatically open for you.People are exceedingly friendly and customer service is better than any other place I've seen, yet people are not tipped.There is an obsession with …

Today we are leaving Kyoto for Tokyo on the Nozomi bullet train. Kevin is flying home while I continue to Taiwan!Since our hotel in Kyoto is right above the train station, it was a short walk to the platform. We took the fast Nozomi bullet train from Kyoto to Tokyo, with very few stops. In the bull…

Simon showed up on time at the station where we were supposed t…

Kind of early in the trip for this, but I am experiencing a little "blog burnout." Today I vow not to ramble. This will be a short one. Really. In fact, I am even going to do bullet points. MORNING: up at 6:45 and parked myself at the computer. Blog, blog, blog.  It's like a job! :^) Steve foc…

I was gonna meet Ronnie at a coffee shop (outside) in Sakae. I got there on time and waited for a bit. I thought I got there early cuz people usually come late.. I looked at the coffee shop and there he was, talking to a staff. He waved me so I waved him back. He later told me he was chatting to a…

For the last four years usually in the middle of May the Japanese Embassy in Bratislava in cooperation with the Japan foundation has organized a Japanese film festival. During a week the spectators get the opportunity to watch every day 1 or 2 Japanese movies for free in a smaller alterna…

Sadly, my time in Japan had almost come to an end. Today was my last 24 hours in what has become my favourite country on the planet. I felt gutted already, even though it was over a day until my flight departing the land of the rising sun. Therefore, I awoke early, in attempt to make the most of my…

Waitiing at Narita Airport now, for my connecting flight back to the states.  What a great trip we had!  The food, the sights, the hotels....all wonderful.   I can't wait to tell you all about it, but not for 100 yen per 10 minutes at the airport internet cafe!  You'll just…

We were invited by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affair) for comparison study in education. Before we depar…
