I have been listening on and off to JapanesePod101.com and it definitely has helped me on trips. Can anyone recommend other resources (though I have to admit I love jp101!)

My big problem is that where I live there are literally no people who speak Japanese, so I can’t practice!

Maybe my goal on here should be to start a Japanese language practice group! :-)

I was reluctant to go at first – but I literally fell in love with the country in between getting off the plane and getting into the car to take me to Tokyo. I’ve been back at least once a year ever since.

Japan is the only place I’ve visited (and I’ve been around the world) that I enjoyed WHILE I was there – it wasn’t something I thought back on how great it was. It was great in the now! (Ok, other places have had flashes of that, but Japan was the only one from start to finish).
