Now that you’ve grown tired of reading my monologue of Hate, I present this happy tidbit:
After all these years of pain and suffering, I am finally going to the land of the rising sun, Japan.
I actually knew about this a while ago, but didn’t wanna say anything until I was sure.
My trip will take me to Japan for 2 weeks starting on the 18th of this very month. So I now have the painful 2 weeks of waiting.
The purpose of the trip is to enjoy myself in Japan. I plan on staying in Tokyo a few days first, then just getting on the train and traveling around.
There are a few destinations which are obvious, like Kyoto and Osaka. I’ve also gotten recommendations for Nara, Nagoya, Hiroshima and Hokkaido.
I still have a bit of planning to do. So far all I’ve done is bought a backpack, and been working on some hardcore Kanji training.
There are two alternatives to this trip. One is to hang around and not bother too much with tourism and such, just try to experience people. The other is the same as the previous one, but even more relaxed.
Both involve a little tourism, but I am not really that much into Art museums and such, so we’ll see how it goes. I’d just like to think that I can make this a trip where the only thing I have to worry about is where to spend the night or to eat my ramen, rather then trying to visit every temple in Kyoto and see as many Kabuki plays as I can.
If anyone actually reads this blog, and has any tips, please do post them.
