Hey All,
I'm a new poster and the Japan visitation will soon begin.
I'm leaving Monday afternoon to Osaka for 4 days. From there, I'll be spending 6 days in Japan. And then 2 more days in Osaka.
I have a few points of interested I'm hoping to see, but the majority of my trip is going to be serendipitous exploration. No set path, roll of the dice.
… I might be getting a bit lost. Eheh…
Anyway, got my hotels booked (save for my last two days - one day really, as the day after I'll be on a plane home). I have my Rail Pass, books in tow, camera, battery charger, and netbook... maybe some clothes.
I know some Japanese (been studying for 10 years - off and on, with many plateaus), but this is my sink or swim mission. Practice in the native land of 日本語. Really, I just expect to have fun and get rather confused.
Wish me luck! Or if you're local, PM me and we'll get a beer.
Good Night!
