The Summary

I decided to come to Japan to teach English back in 2003. I intended to stay only a year but a year has turned into almost 6 years I left on 9 November 2008. I've learnt much about the customs and culture of Japan so id like to share some of my knowledge with you. I hope my experiences can help other people travelling to Japan. I will slowly be adding my photos, tips and reviews.
