OfuroWhen traveling, I especially look for interesting local customs, mostly with those that are very different from mine. And most of the time I am willing to give it a try ☺. While I usually get myself informed of the culture and whatnot before visiting a foreign country, I can’t help but be …

Part of a one month trip through the world

My first trip to Japan and hopefully first of many

A week in Tokyo and 3 days in Nikko.

Finally I got to go and visit Tokyo! Free airline ticket (miles) and a free place to stay (friends), so it was a good start to vacation, that got better each day! Tokyo is a fantastic place and can't wait to go back.

Travelled to Tokyo and the North Island (Hokkaido) to go snowboarding in Niseko. Certainly, the best snow i've seen anywhere. And a fantastic trip to boot. Japan was faultless!

Despite being raised in the States, many defining moments of my childhood occurred in Japan, and this country will forever be a part of my soul.

Have always visited Tokyo on various occassions but never did stay long. Well, that was amended when I finally went back after being away for nearly 3 years and I have the photos for show-n-tell. Okay, maybe not so much 'tell'.

Before leaving for East Timor, I spent about 10 days in Japan with my husband in early March. We visited Tokyo, where I came from, Kyoto, and Nara.

This was actually my 3rd trip to Japan and I did it because of my japanese girlfriend I had that time. This country is in many ways so different to what Westerners are used to, so mysteriours, that usually visitors either love it or hate it. There's not much in between. I learned to appreciate Japan already during my first trip and I knew I had to come back. China was something completely different. More chaotic, more dirty and more unpredictable. Like the big clumsy brother of Japan.

Hmm.. I'd rather share pictures with lesser words. Anyway, my trip to Japan that lasted for 8 months was so far the best. I stayed in Osaka but traveled to places like Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya, Nara, Namba, Wakayama, Hokkaido and Umeda.

Here are some pictures from one of my trips to Japan. What an amazing country! I need to find the rest to post...

Here I am in this fabulous city for the second time this year and it is even more exciting than the first time. The weather is cool with a perfect cloudless blue sky, and at night the Ginza and Shibuyu comes alive.
