Yup, I speak Japanese fluently as well as English, and I don't have an accent for both languages. I was born in Canada but I was raised in Japan, then I came back to Canada. It's really complicated, and I'm part Japanese. Are you from Canada too?

In first week and second week of July, we will probably wonder around the west part of Japan like Osaka and Kyoto. On the third week, we'll be back in Tokyo, and enjoying the city life again. Tokyo is where I grew up, so I pretty much know everything about there. Yeah, join us.
More people and more the merrier, right?

Wife's parent wanted a "shop and eat till they drop" trip, so I am taking them there for about 17 days. Going to be in Furano, Sapporo, Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto......

I'm a student, yes I just started to go to university.
There's so much things to do when you are just a student.
Are you a student as well?

Woop yep, going at the beginning of June for a week in Osaka and a week in Tokyo with the lovely miss misa =^_^=

We have paid for the plane and made the Osaka reservation, come the new year we are going to book the Tokyo hotel and get the JR pass, travel insurance and anything else we forgot then just play the exchange rate waiting game of when to get our cash XD

I now just need to hurry up and get a job before then so I'll have a few more pennies to spend.

Great!
I'll be sure to message you closer to the time and see if something can be arranged. I look forward to it.

You're a lucky guy
I'll be going a month later when you're all snugly back at home. It's a shame

So will you be going for a budget hotel or have you got a bit to splash out for a good one? I'll be going to the ultimate in budget, to a backpackers hostel. Absolutely everything is shared facilities and the rooms are the size of broom cupboards, but there's no problem with that as long as there's a roof over my head at night! I'll be out more than in.

Same with me. I have a job but seems as it's only 6 hours a week I'm trying to get any overtime they have to offer. XD

I am a girl.

Yes I am very lucky to be married to misa.

We are going to business hotels, so about one step up from a hostel
