So i'm looking at going for 3 weeks and spending some time with a Japanese family in Kyoto.
Obviously in my case it'll just be myself and my partner and i've never been and have no relatives there so i feel it's the best way for me to experience the culture.
Hotels seem reasonable to be honest. I expected them to be more expensive. I usually stay in 5* accomodation, and the 4* and 4.5* hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka seem very reasonably priced. On par with Las Vegas, which i visit frequently and find luxury accomodation is cheap. (compared to the Uk at least).
Anyway, i'm jelous...i wish i was going. But i've just got back from holiday, and have Vegas in June. So it'll be 2011, maybe even 2012 before i visit Japan!!  |
Greetings! Awesome that you're going to Japan as well!
Regarding travel time from BC, it's about a 10 hour flight. Our body clock will be wacked out for sure because I thing Japan time is about 17 hours ahead of ours.
Cool that you are going to Vegas, I love going there...been there a few times. Actually you can get some terrific deals on hotels in Vegas, right on the strip. Vegas is one massive playground for adults
It is hard to take it all in at times...kind of like drinking water from a fire hose, if you know what I mean
