It's been crazily busy here and yes if you must really know I've been having too much Japanesification to write home No I'm joking see I have retained my aussie sarcastic humour or in Japanese you would pronounce yuu mar what. On all serious thought I miss everyone at home and send my thoughts and love I ha http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Japan/Gifu/blog-301844.html I've been in Japan for nearly one month now. And here in Japan I believe I have learnt a few great and pivotal lessons. 1 That language is hilarious To be honest being in Japan is amazing but albeit a tad confronting and frustrating at times. You see it is frustrating for me meeting all these great Japanese people and not being able to have deep and meaningful conversations. Or having simple http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Japan/Gifu/blog-270534.html Japlish is predominant here. I have found a very guilty vice in taking photographs of Japlish whilst Japanese people look on in confusion at this nosy foreigner.Furthermore I believe I get such a great rush from Japlish because1 I can read it2 I can laugh at it3 Because as I have a weird habit of reading everything chip packets shampoo bottles face creams and that habit was taken away http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Japan/Gifu/blog-265266.html Its spring in Japan at the moment and the average temperature is 16 degrees I can't imagine how I will feel when it gets to winter here it snows I will freeze off my caca.

Yes pictures say a thousand words and I have many many many of them. My american friend Chrystian is just as much of a picture whore as I am so here the 'thousand words' begin.Japanese people really love cherry blossoms and H http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Japan/Gifu/blog-264554.html Hi everyoneSo I've been living in Gifu Japan for a week. And it has been quite a interesting and challenging experience.I often feel like Im living in a sbs foreign documentary and there are no subtitles. But my japanese is improving every day and its quite fun in some respect to be a little lost. The Japanese people are really nice and helpful and I have some reprimand with the fellow english s http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Japan/Gifu/blog-264542.html
