Dinner!!! Kobe beef in Kobe - I was so looking forward to this. The restaurant name is in japanese but i took a picture (looks like a christmas sign) - i had had kobe before in the U.S. but it is so different here. The authentic kobe (or wagyu) beef is so marbled, tender and flavorful ... mmm... some of the other travelers felt it was too rich and intense - I was more than happy to eat their share ... they also served the beef with fried garlic chips - quite a good complement in texture ...

I have been living in Osaka for the last 8 years so I thought i would add some places of interest so you can decide where to go if you come to Kansai

Today was the last day on my Do! fitness membership, so I had a good final workout. Then, a rush back to the room to get ready for today's day trip: Kobe. Kobe is famous for the exorbitantly expensive beef it produces. The beef is apparently quite tender -- partially attributed to the breed, but mostly due to the cows' daily massages and steady diet of beer and sake! We should all be so lucky. Kobe is also the sight of a horrific earthquake that devastated the city in 1995 and plunged Japan i...

I was so lucky that I had a chance to visit Japan in January 2007. I was one of twelve Indonesian Islamic School Heads that invited by Ministry of Foreign Affair Japan in collaboration with PPIM UIN Jakarta. In my opinion, Japan has done a great job in preserving its culture while moving towards to modernism. I could not say anything besides "Thank you Lord... alhamdulillah..."

This day started with us just jumping onto the JR train and only expecting a simple day trip to Kobe, but it turned out to be a strange day that I will never forget.  One of the first things I try to do when traveling, every morning, is to try to by an English language newspaper.  However Takatsuki, Osaka does not see many westerners so it was not possible at in the morning until I got to Kobe.  At the Kobe station I was able to find one and buy one and quickly read the headlin...

Finding Victoria. Many countries across the globe have honoured Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the Commonwealth. On my travels I will keep my eye out for various namesakes.

My first trip to Asia. Thanks to a summer fellowship I was able to explore japanese customs and culture far beyond the usual vaccation experience - staying for 3 months at a host university and being invited to give a talk at a conference in Tokyo were only some of the highlights.

Dear Travel Blog- I know I just got back from Japan a week or two ago, and then I went to Ithaca and came back, so technically I've only been home for a couple of days, but now I want to go to a new place again. Something nice. Lithuania or Spain, perhaps, or how about Guatemala? I don't think it's too much to ask. Love, Jess.
