How to travel to Japan
It made me
Deliriously happy!
 "It was 'sugoi!' (Awesome.)"
How I did it: I'd been wanting to go forever, and finally had enough money to do it. It's completely worth it if you already have a love and appreciation of Japanese culture; if you don't, you may find Japan to be a very alien country. Lessons & tips: The country at first seems very cold and impersonal, but it grows on you quickly-- it is wonderfully, fiercely beautiful, ancient in a way that few other places in the world can claim. You may have week-old apartment structures next to stone altars that have stood for thousands of years. And you will see very few other non-Asian tourists around if you are not in Tokyo or Kyoto. Resources: American Airlines and a phrasebook I picked up at Barnes & Nobles for $10. (Oh! Learn some simple phrases, like 'thank you' and 'I would like ____' and 'Sorry.' They will come in handy very quickly if you go somewhere where English is not readily spoken, although most Japanese are very happy to communicate via notepad doodles or hand signals!)

I’ve always loved Japan, but after I read Memoirs of a Geisha, I’ve wanted to meet one too. :-)

I Want To Go
4 months ago
Like the title I really do. Since I was born in Japan, I miss it and I want to see an old friend. Japan is fun because there are so many places to explore. Japan, to me, is the best place I know besides Hawaii, America, and Mexico. Traveling to Japan would be the best thing ever. I can’t wait until I go to Japan.
When to go?

I hate heat so I don’t think planning a trip in the summer is a good idea. I live in Hawaii and have no winter clothes, so winter might be a bit more expensive just for purchasing new clothes. So…spring or fall?
I think a trip to Japan probably can’t happen until 2011, but I’m dreaming for now.
I'm going!!

Japan has a very interesting culture. I like watching anime so going there would be like going to the place where anime was created! I think that japanese drama is very fun to watch.
