Goodday!! I had limited internet access the last two months and in the meantime I've been working in Europe for the summer, therefore I had little time to write. While in Hiroshima I was busy looking at options to go watch a baseball game of Tokyo Yakult Swallows in Kobe or Yokohama. The player from Curaçao in that team, Wladimir “Coco” Balentien, broke the homerun record last year. I found ... Read Full Entry

Bon Biní, Bienvenido, Welkom, Welcome, Benvenuto, Wilkommen! I'm Elton, from the island of Curaçao (Southern Caribbean) where I was born, raised and currently living. I grew up in a local neighbourhood just west of Otrobanda in Willemstad. I speak Papiamentu, Dutch, Spanish, English, regular Italian and a little German. Curaçao is a small but unique Island. It's not the typical Caribbean island with just sun and beaches. It has a rich and interesting history and culture. The capital, Willemstad, is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Very informative and very nice blogpost Elton-San...especially the pictures. I was never attracted to Japan but it definitely sounds like a interesting place to go.

Cool photo
Nice photo you got there. We were in Kyoto last year but decided to see only a few temples. We missed this one and that is a pity. /Ake

Hello! I skipped many temples and shrines in Kyoto too, there are just too many of them. But it's indeed a pity that you missed this one, it's awesome!

Classic Japan!
How great that you were able to work in Europe, so you could continue traveling. These are such classic places you visited in Japan--really makes me want to visit. There is a wonderful black couple from England, mikesrtw [blogger=296438], who are now in China, where they are treated, for better and worst, like famous movie stars with everyone wanting their photo and staring at them. Trippy if you adventurous Travelbloggers met up in Asia. Happy travels!

Hi Tara. Thanks for recommending that profile. I already sent them a message. I've been in Europe since May and not going back to Asia now, but who knows I might meet them somewhere else. The attention they got in China is similar to what I got in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. And yes, Japan is great...would love to go back one day. I'd recommend it to everyone! :)

Hello my friend
We've been busy and have not been reading your travels recently but now we will have to go back and get caught up. You always do a great job of telling a story of your travels and photos.

Hello guys! Thanks for the message :) I published this entry after two months without publishing anything, because I've been busy with work and I had limited internet access (I still have). I'll try to publish my next blog within 10 days.

Hi Cindy. Yes, it's a cool experience. If you go there one day, you should try it! Hopefully you're not claustrophobic though ;-)

Glad you made it!
I knew you'd enjoy Japan - now you're making me miss my second home! You certainly made good use of your time there :-)
