You would think that after all this time I would have this in my completed items. But…no…..I am still doing this.

I have the first half down real well. I had learned the last half and thought it was done…and lo and behold I was asked to recite it and there were holes in my memory.

So hold me accountable….folks, I really should be increasing my memorization not relearning.

So, I am taking a trip to Japan. I have a digital camera a Fuji FinePix Z. I am just now learning how to use it. Any ideas about taking good photos of people and things for a clumsy amateur?

This is truly a trip of a life time for me and I am interested in any ideas.

Thank you

I am only a week away. I realized today that this site could be helpful giving me tips and perhaps insight on what to expect.
My Son lives there and I am traveling with his Grandfather to who is in his 80’s. It is my first international trip.

I do not want to be embarrassing to my son in any way. I have read some on how to bow etc. What I really need is actual tips on traveling. Or practical things learned on the way, like don’t use the thumbs up sign…..or something about chewing gum…..

Please any tips no matter how small will help me build confidence Thanks you so very much
