Wutup guys,

Going to be here for awhile so anyone looking to share or gain information about the life here, this is the thread to do it in. I'll be posting random pics here and there to let everyone see what it's like.

I plan on visiting Japan as part of my Asia trip next summer after graduating from school, even though I know it'll be pricey |I. But it's somewhere I've always wanted to visit. If I'm already in Asia, which city would provide the cheapest flight into Tokyo?

I'd really like to see some pictures.

I have wonderful childhood memories growing up in Japan. It's a beautiful country with mostly kind people. I think what I loved most were the seasons. I miss seeing the pink cherry blossom petals falling in the spring. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Try Haneda, I hear it is a lot less crowded but not sure about price.

My mother is Japanese. She grew up in Nagano. I lived there for 5 years (1st through 5th grade) It's been 11 years since my last visit. Kind of makes me sad to think of it. I'll be looking forward to seeing your posts/updates here.

In Japan I've noticed that they don't care so much about what the shirt actually says but more of how the lettering is presented.

I think I'd cry seeing a spider that big. I'm a catch and release person when it comes to bugs, but if I saw that I'd bring out the vacuum.

Shibuya is really coo... If you think Vegas is partying hard you need to experience the Roppongi life, clubs open at 4 in the afternoon and don't close til lunch time the next day. Shimokitazawa is a coo place, a lot of international travelers meet up in the area and it is sort of like a chill hipster side of Tokyo. The train system makes everything real convenient. I'm only 30 mins less or a bit more from Tokyo. The hard stares I catch walking around and on the train are all funny to me. People in my neighborhood have finally started acknowledging me and say hi every now and then. Just DO NOT visit in Summer especially if you hate really muggy humid weather. Spring would be the most ideal season.
