  • Day 2 After a torturous neck breaking sleep, we finally awoke at 6.25am for the trek to haneda airport. Our destination, Toyama! I woke with a shocking headache that would be my unwanted stowaway for the trip to toyama. I know, I know Posted by jasbar in Jason and Vanessa | Nov 6, 2009
  • Day 1 Jetstar were obviously short on people to fill starclass, so on the sunday before the trip we got a call offering a cheap upgrade which we duly accepted. The airport check in was certainly fun, my first ever random bomb residue Posted by jasbar in Jason and Vanessa | Nov 6, 2009
  • Tokyo - The Megatropolis Well, my trip didn't start without a hiccup. The last words you want to hear at the airport when checking in for your first flight is "I am sorry but we can't let you board the plane" - but this Posted by joshuag in Joshua's World Odyssey | Nov 5, 2009
  • Nikko 02/11-04/11 Nikko is again a place with temples but not only that. There are 2 temples you'll need to see. The Toshu-go and the Taiju-in. There is lots of people in the first one which will spoil the fun a bit Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Nov 3, 2009
  • Tokyo 28/11-02/11 Well I was a bit sceptic about Tokyo as I thought this would be again a big city where there is too much people and stress from the traffic and everything but surprisingly I really don't get a feeling of Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Nov 3, 2009
  • Nepal-Japan Well we spent 4 days in Katmandu just having some well deserved r&r after our Everest trek, It was nice to just have nothing to do except for eat lots and sleep lots!! We made our way to th Posted by cb1314 in World Travels | Nov 2, 2009
  • Noboribetsu Finally I get these pictures uploaded and sorted. I am glad I wrote some emails about this weekend. It was definitely one of the best we had so far. Some of these pictures are by other people, so I'll write Posted by November in Divided roads and ocean blues | Oct 19, 2009
  • Takayama 26/10-28/10 I spent 1 day/2 nights in Takayama. I went to my first onsen/hot spring and that was really cool. You get different baths with hot spring water and even one outside. You need to go there in the evening as Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Nov 1, 2009
  • Sayonara Japan!! Firstly, apologies (to all those who might care) for the late update in blogging... internet access in China especially for uploading photos has been worse than useless...

  • Shimanami Kaido Last weekend I rode the Shimanai Kaido which is a route that stretches from Japan's main island of Honshu to the island of Shikoku. It was amazing and definitely one of the most worthwhile things I've done since I have Posted by rmbarnes1 in Japan Happy Fun Time | Oct 28, 2009

  • Shirakawago 26/10 This small village is 1h by bus from Kanazawa. It is rather expensive to come here as it cost me more than 30 EUR to go from Kanazawa to Shirakawago (1h) and then to Takayama (1h). This is expensive compared Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 26, 2009
  • Kanazawa 25/10-26/10 Kanazawa is famous for his garden. The Kenrokuen garden. Well this is another highlight in Japan. The place is awesome. I don't think you can beat this one. It's rather big and you can easily spend 2 hours if not Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 26, 2009
  • Nara 23/10 Lots of things to see in Nara. Lots of temples again but for me the highlight was defenately hiking up the highest point that is maybe only 350m above sea level but the place is georgeous. The nature is just Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 26, 2009
  • Kyoto 24/10 My last day in Kyoto was not the best one as I was recommended some places that weren't that nice. I went to the manga museum which isn't much interesting as they have only a small section in non Japanese Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 26, 2009
  • Kobe-Himeji 22/10 Today I've been to the most famous castle of Japan (Himeji castle). An advise here take the combi ticket with the garden as again this is a great garden. Japan is defenately the place with the most beautiful gardens in Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 22, 2009
  • Hiroshima-Miyajima 20/10-21/10 I went to see in Hiroshima the memorial park and museum and that was ok. The park is lovely and the museum is interesting.

  • Life so far... I've mostly been updating about the traveling I've been doing here but I think I should update about my experiences in Japan so far. Everything is going well. I am starting to get to know my students better but don't Posted by rmbarnes1 in Japan Happy Fun Time | Oct 22, 2009
  • Fighting, history and all you can eat buffets! Thurs 15th - Got on the good old bullet train to Himeji and transferred to a local train; chatting to the only other Westener in sight to see if he knew where to go.

  • Kyoto 16/10-20/10 I had really high expectations coming to Japan and I must say it isn't totally as I expected but it is just so great. Osaka I didn't like too much but I was there too shortly to conclude much about Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 19, 2009
  • Fukuoka 15/10-16/10 I didn't manage to see much of Fukuoka as I passed only 1 night there but my hostel was really nice and the people as well. The people on the street are so helpfull, you just can't imagine. Posted by jeansblog in Jean's travel blog | Oct 19, 2009

  • Moved out I moved out of my hostfamily this Saturday. This is not the right place to let out my frustration and I wrote enough long emails about my hostmoms ability to make people uncomfortable.
