                    <title>Christmas and New Years Japanese Style  Tokyo Japan</title>
                    <description>My first day of vacation was spent on a bus.And when I say bus I mean a 14 hour bus ride from Fukuoka to Tokyo that left Fukuoka at 630pm and got into Tokyo at 830am the next morning. Highway buses really are one of the cheapest ways to travel in Japan but not really the most convenient or comfortable unless your the type of person who can sleep anywhere and if you are I am highly jealous of y</description>

                    <description>So after a very long hiatus and rather hectic 2 months the quater is over and I can finally relax and enjoy a 2 small break from school.As other graduate students and Masters holders would tell you grad school is the part of the education process where you never really stop working. Reading has to get done presentations have to be made and presented final term papers of 5000 words have to be w</description>

                    <title>Grad School in Beppu Oita</title>
                    <description>Well after a year of sitting around at home I decided that it was time to move on with my life and go back to school. That39s right grad school was the next step for me. A little background information might help some of you on this. I did my undergraduate studies in Asian Studies with a concentration in Japanese Studies. After being in Osaka for a study abroad I graduated and moved myself t</description>

                    <description>On the official 10 year anniversary of 911 and the 6 month anniversary of the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami I flew into Sendai airport the airport that shown around the world being almost submerged by the Pacific Ocean. I flew into an area that is still recovering still surrounded by empty and broken businesses. The first very prominent showing was the fact that the Airport Line still isn39</description>

                    <description>Driving in Ireland is different kind of rush. Thoughts start spinning around your brain like How hard can a right turn be to How the hell do I get around this roundabout thing to A couple inches and I would have taken off that guys mirror. Sadly I only survived a grand total of 20 minutes driving into Cork the next day and had to relinquish the job to my sister who actually had experi</description>

                    <description>After another day full of train travel this time adding another train connection at the train station across town from Dublin station. Riding right along the water gives you a striking first impression. Waterford is one beautiful city. Beautiful historic warehouses that have since been turned into shops line the water and are only blocks away from the pedestrian shopping center. One of those be</description>

                    <description>I was the one that put the Giants Causeway on our itinerary. I had seen numerous pictures of it and just had to get there. I didn39t care that it was way out of our way and it was going to mean exchanging more money. I just had to go and see it. And I am so glad that I did.Riding the train from Dublin to Northern Ireland is one beautiful train ride. 2 hours to Belfast a couple train changes an</description>

It said rate these 4 places  in order of where you want to go Vancouver St. Edward Island Nova Scotia Tuscany and Ireland. It took me .3 seconds to put Ireland at the top of the lis. I39ve had enough friends tell me how amazing Ireland was to know that if I was going to get some respect points from them I had to go. I h</description>

                    <description>Blogger note This is a memory blog. I left Japan about a year ago It was the beginning of the end. After Beijing all I had much time for was getting everything settled and start on the moving process. Including mailing boxes home cleaning my apartment hosting 3 friends and what was suppose to be a trip to Korea. During a typhoonI had gone down to Narita to meet them and as we were waiting i</description>

Lot39s of God I hope I can get around and I know 1 word of Chinese let39s hope that it39s good enough were going through my head on a fairly regular basis. Figuring out the train system really wasn39t that difficult it was the street crossings that I had the most trouble with. To go or not to</description>

                    <description>The last Golden Week. The last chance to travel around Japan and see another part of Japan before I headed home in September the last chance to visit with friends. The last everything it felt like. I had had a little dream before I went to Japan that I would go to all the main islands  before coming home. Okinawa was the last island well technically islands that I had to go to. After consultin</description>

                    <description>This entry is LONG over due....but never late than never rightSo we left the bright airy life in Singapore on January 1st and flew back up to Malaysia to take in Penang and had what has to be the best airplane food I39ve ever eaten. Or maybe I39m just biased because Malaysian food has got to be my second favorite ethnic food now. I just can39t stop dreaming of it when I39ve got this c</description>

                    <description>Now my friend and I weren39t done with KL but it was time to move on and find a rocking place to ring in the new year. Singapore pretty much fits the bill in our humble opinion we just needed to find a good way to get there. Enter the Aero Line. Now be forewarned Aero Line is one of the more expensive buses and comes complete with bus attendant subway sandwich one of the first ones I had </description>

                    <description>Heat. Warmth. These are the words that went over and over again in my mind before going on this trip. I was only all too happy to be heading to a country that was going to be in the middle of summer while the cold Japanese winter was just cresting the horizon and it was already too cold for me. Heat and humidity are also the first things that hit you when you get to Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is a lar</description>

                    <description>You have to go to Nikko You'll LOVE Nikko they say. Hearing this over and over again has a huge tendency to over hype a place and then when you get there expecting it to be the most beautiful place on Earth you land flat on your face because obviously your imagination ran unsupervised behind your eyes. Though I will say that that same imagination is what can make you fall in love with a</description>

                    <description>Day 1So let's continue with Obon 2009. The next morning my companion and I headed up very early like 730am early to the Takamatsu train station to see what we could do to get on to Tokushima and the rest of our trip. We were met with the news that the trains still wasn't running to Tokushima. With this news in hand we headed to the bus station which seemed to be our only option to see if t</description>

                    <description>Well this journey could have started with better circumstances but in the end it turned out great and a fun time was had. With companion in hand we set out to the last big island for me Shikoku.The shinkansen rolled out of Sendai at 715 in the morning for the start of a 7 hour train journey across Japan. I could tell you how beautiful the scenery was as the train moved from prefecture to pref</description>

                    <description>I should probably start this entry with a little explanation I love the anime show Mobile Suit Gundam. I love the writing the action the message political intrigue characters and the freakin awesome robots. There is nothing about that show that I don't like because it's so well thought out and put back together to tell a really good story and makes a strong statement about war. I know the pr</description>

                    <title>Seoul Vacation</title>
                    <description>The second half of my Golden Week was a quickly put together week in Seoul. I had been to Seoul before when I was at Kansai Gaidai. I went for 4 days and didn't really have any plans for when I was there. I basically did the same thing again. I had 6 days and I had a LP. That was my whole plan.TuesdayI got into Seoul around 330pm got a bus into town dropped my stuff off at my tiny hostel and w</description>

                    <description>It's a pretty quick and beautiful trip from Inuyama to Takayama which was where my historical Japan tour was going to end. The limited express train goes through some beautiful gorges and the weather was nice and sunny. It was the prefect day to go around and enjoy some more samurai district history and everything that goes with it.Or so I thought. Apparently Golden Week started that day and it </description>
