Planning Japan

I'm heading over to Japan for just over two weeks in July. There are a few reasons for this trip. First and foremost I'm going to see a special someone. Then I'm going cause I've loved Japan since I was about ten years old and had my first Japanese lesson. It felt magical then and it still does now. I can not wait to get there and start exploring.

The idea is to fly out of Cairns to Tokyo, take the train from Tokyo to Osaka. Spend a week or so in Osaka and then head over to Beppu on the night ferry. When I'm due to fly home I'll make my way back to Tokyo (it will be a sad, sad day) and I get back just in time for my 21st birthday (not that I'm celebrating it).

I have so many things I want to do:
- sample the food
- see the sights
- relax in an onsen or a few
- go to the Osaka aquarium (whale sharks!!!)
- go shopping for awesome stuff of course
- kareoke
- stumble over the few bits of Japanese I can still remember
- and much, much more

It's going to be absolutely awesome XD
