So, how should I go about describing the exprience of the past two weeks? So many things were eaten, so many sights seen… 

I suppose I’ll start with a summary of our daily life. 

As with all trips, it’s only as fun as you want to make it. We took in Japan with open eyes, blank memory cards and empty stomach.  Armed with a Frommers, Lonely Planet, some brochures our travel agent gave us and a few addresses of good ramen places to try, we visited tourist spots and occassionally, not so touristy spot.

So, how did it go?

Sitting at the airport right now. Soon, we’ll be on our way home. The past two weeks have been absolutely awesome! It’s my second time in Japan, but it felt like my first visit. This time I saw so much more, ate so many different things and fully enjoyed every moment. 

The best part of Japan must be the food. I ate everything that looked edible. Sushi, ramen, soba, udon, rice balls, curry, kushi katsu, ebiyaki,?gyoza, takoyaki… and more. Food was well presented and there was plenty in a serving. I thought I was going to either go broke or go hungry, but instead more often than not, I was usually stuffed.

It is also nice traveling with friends. In Japan, we met up with 2 more friends, and along the way, during most of our dinners for the first week we met up with Jaes cousin and his girlfriend from Australia. 

Well, almost time to board, so stay tuned for recaps on my trip!
