Recently in Japan Category

Well, I think it's time for a long rambling update about what's going on in my life...

I just got back from my second trip to Japan. The trip really deserves several posts just for itself. But realistically, look at how often I post on here! I had a great time in Japan. Of course, I visited Tokyo, but I also got to see Nagoya and Kyoto while I was there.

Tokyo was great, just like last time. This time around, I soloed a lot of the time, because Ochibichan was working. I didn't have any problems with getting around or doing things in Tokyo on my own. A little Japanese skill helped. But I remain convinced that someone who knows "domo arigato" and "sumimasen" could survive a trip to Tokyo with minimal damage. :-)

So, I haven't written in a while....

The big news is that I'm planning a trip to Japan in November. I plan on visiting my incredible girlfriend in Tokyo. I've got the tickets and my passport and a rough idea of what I'm going to pack. Now I just need to learn Japanese (by November, hahaha, yeah right!) and get a small camera to take with me. I don't want to travel with my full camera gear, so I'm thinking about some sort of 4-5 mega pixel camera.

I know Nikon makes some higher end Coolpix cameras that work with the SB-800. But I haven't decided if I want to take the flash with me, so that might not matter.

Anyone out there got advice on what to see in Tokyo? I already plan on hitting the Sony Building, Tokyo Tower, Ueno Park, and the palace complex. Plus, of course, Harajuku for some crazy cosplay pics. :-)

Anyway, I gotta get some sleep. But I'll leave this open for comments for a little while until the spammers get out of control.
