January 19 brought to the end my brief stay in Nagoya working at Nagoya University in Professor Kawase's group.  My complete lack of knowledge of the Japanese language had worried me greatly before arriving in the country but my hosts were incredibly kind in trying really hard to speak English…

We transfered in Nagoya onto the fastest version of the bullet trains - the Nozomi. We had only about 15 minutes between trains, but the Shinkansen (bullet train) lines were well marked. The Nozomi was fast! but once sitting on the train, you don't really feel it.

This weekend India and I decided to go for a bicycle ride. Aka the drunken tour de Japan. We ended up at a pachinko parlor with a good buzz. I quickly lost five dollars, as per usual, and we left. After pachinko we went across the street to one of India’s favorite restaurants. We had some mor…

My first Asian trip. I'm on my own for the whole summer.

Nagoya was pretty cool.  But INSANELY HOT.  It was almost unbearable.  We head over to Nagoya Castle.  It was kinda pointless.  The outside looked really cool though.  However, we had to walk up a lot of stairs to go to this observation deck, which was ok.  The co…

This trip was totally out of the blue, whilst on my Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand, I needed to get away from windy Wellington so I chose this strange combination. I was spoilt with beautiful deserted Motu in the South Pacific and amazed at the Japanese culture, its a Country like no other I've ever witnessed, a place I fell in love with and hope to return very soon.

   Lento Tokioon lähtee Nagoyasta klo 14.20. Onneksi tarkastimme matkalaukkuhihnan, koska ei meidän laukut menneetkään suorana Tokioon asti.   Japanilaiset ovat hyvin ystävällisen oloisia. Tosin Nagoyan kentällä mies kysyi jopa, että mitä Timolla on taskussa. Papereita p…

Personally, while living in Japan I found the best way to explore was not by map or guide, but simply getting on my bicycle, picking a direction and riding. I'm sure some of you have noticed the bike in my pictures, so let me state it's not a girls bike it's a JAPANESE bike. I would also like to ta…

The previous two times I flew over Japan it was dark so I was not able to see anything. We got a great view of Mt Fuji and the beautiful mountains of Japan. Hopefully some day when I have more money I can come and travel Japan. We landed in Nagoya for a two hour plus layover. The airport is bra…
