Mt. Hiko-hike I agree with you! The hike up to the summit of Hiko is not easy, unless maybe you are a more than average hiker and do lots of leg workouts! I don't think the average hiker would be able to scale those rocks using chains! I made it but most people I know wouldn't be able to do that hike. Happy hiking!!
Hello there! I taught there in 2005-2007, so way before you :). Sounds like your experience was amazing playing rugby in Japan! I myself played on a touch rugby Japan. I miss the country!
sorry for late response....unless you knew someone at the school (like the English Teacher) I think it would be really hard to go and participate just for safety reasons. But good luck if you try!
Can anybody go to these festivals? I really want to go to a high school one just for the experience, but I'm afraid that I will be too old (my parents say I can go when I'm 18, lol), or because I don't go to the school, that I won't be able to participate. I really want to be a foreign exchange student there. It would be fantastic!
Akiminami High School Hi my name is Jared Jensen i was just reading through your blog and saw that you were a ALT teacher At Akinan. I was a scholorshp student for rugby at Akinan for a year and a bit i got there at the start of 2009 when were you at Akinan??..
Thank you i have to thank you, really, for giving so much joy to quite a number of Filipinos. That you have enjoyed your adventures, and shared them with the locals you've met all around this country...........thank you! I have truly enjoyed reading your blogs, and will likely be busy catching up in the next few days.

Cucumber or Rat? If you had too...would you eat the urine-infested cucumbers or the dead rats? Either way it will be followed by larvae for dessert!
Dude, the scary bus stories just took me back to our overnighter from Banaue to Manila. How many times have we escaped death? :)
blg Hi Casey - I have raced through your blog looking for info on China -- but want to take this opportunity to tell you that I like your writing style! I hope I can make mine as interesting.
Maybe I raced too quickly ...... did you get to Lhasa? Any tips? Did you attempt a trip to EBC? If so - ....... heck, I'll take anything!
Hope to get a chance for a proper read.

borneo '07 hey
is this the team you lead to borneo in 2007?
with stumpy as the world challenge leader?
I just came across this on the internet searching for world challenge expeds to borneo. I recognised that it was the team that our school team (monmouth comprehensive BLUE) kept bumping into whilst in country.
That red shrine was apparently made as a mini- Kiyumizudera. I love the view from up there.
You were very lucky to catch the Marine Liner train as it only travels twice a day.
Did you ever get to visit Okunoshima?
Hello everyone and welcome to my travel blog! Travel is my passion in life and I try to do it as much as I possibly can. I was once asked why I enjoy traveling. I quickly replied traveling is where your dreams are made, where dreams become reality, and where one explores and witnesses what life is all about. This blog started as a way to record my travels while teaching in Japan, and well, I kinda started liking to do it so will continue along my travels.
Read on to see what adventures have unfolded thus far mainly in Asia, from amazing and interesting foods, friends, couchsurfing, lo... full info
