When you think of things that symbolize Japan you naturally think of Mount Fuji rising into a mist of clouds with the shinkansen(bullet train) passing it at speeds of over 200 km per hour. Those picture perfect  postcards that  you often see of Mount Fuji is a photographers delight, the p…

Random Observation/Comment #105: I’ve been keeping myself busy since I’ve been back from Japan. This semester really passed by in a blink of an eye. It feels like it was just yesterday that I first set foot on Japanese soil and heard that relaxing, yet annoying, cicada siren. The taste of go…

Last day in Osaka... and Japan. Got to wander around the city, only to get myself lost. Think about it... very little Japanese vocabulary mixed with some millions of Japanese people bumping into you everywhere you go... with very little space? I got lost for about 2 hours, wandering in circles... p…

Here are some pictures of my trip to Japan from 15 August - 21 August 2007.

We had Hanami meet-up in Osaka! Hanami meaning is to seeing cherry blossoms. We never know if it's full of cherry blossoms and if it's sunny or not!

4th times visiting Japan.. Got so relaxing and culture experience this time.. I was almost dying with extremely busy work by holding a festival in the end of 2007. Fortunately, I did feel refresh and get better after staying Japan for 2 week, doing nothing, eating assorted tasteful food and traveling most of facinating cities not only in Kansi area, namely, Osaka, Nara, Wakayama, Kyoto, Kobe and Hemiji, but also Mie, Toba and Ise.. Koyashan is no doubt still my favourit!!

Day 2 Sun1st Today,i went to osaka castle and osaka aquarium.the japan railway and subway network are not as complicated as i thought. Osaka castle was magnificent.very majestic.its actually a replica of the real 1 at himeji though,so the interior is a museum After visiting the castle,it started to…

Jenny and I were returning from a trip to Hawaii (including our Safari Helicopter ride out of Hilo over the active volcano) but when we landed in Osaka to change planes to get to Okinawa, we were told there was yet another typhoon hitting Okinawa so we had to spend the night in Osaka.  That ve…

Since I got there so late, I missed the Hanami meet, and everyone in Osaka. Straight off the plane I couldn't find my baggage tags! Why were they buried? Because I almost missed the Tokyo to Osaka flight when security was worried that my deoderant might be flammable, and me being myself, crammed a …

Leaving Osaka port to Shanghai took 2days. BUT on the way, there was typhoon so it took more than 2 days. This ferry is not so clean and pretty much nothing to do except talking to other strangers or playing ping-pong or sleep..  On the 2nd day on ferry, we had a very bad typhoon so pretty muc…

Actually we slept one night in a hotel close to the train station in Kyoto. I forgot about that.. anyways, the hotel where in japanese-style wich means you sleep on a madrass on the floor and have a small table and a place to pray in the room. It was designed traditional japanese so you got a nice …
