Ikimasho!

After many years of thinking "I should" I finally went through to book tickets for the sumo tournament in Fukuoka. Since I had to buy the plane ticket almost a year in advance and couldn't purchase sumo tickets until six months later I padded the itinerary to make room for more discoveries. I ended up dipping into cities all around Kyushu island and Okinawa for two weeks, a trip that left me wanting to see more of Japan.

Meh... readers beware. I originally started this log to keep my mother up to date during a longer trip, but I quickly realized I wasn't about to waste my precious time off by sitting in some shady Internet café updating a blog nobody will read anyway. Nowadays it is more of a personal nostalgia and ego thing, but by all means, feel free to enjoy the speculations and hybris which will no doubt get reality checked soon enough. I will add older travel logs as time permits.... full info
