				Japan Thoughts: 
				  
				We hit Japan hard with our feet 
				not touching the ground seeing the sights.  By far the 
				friendliest people we have met on the trip so far who seem very 
				proud to be Japanese what ever they do.  With a super slick 
				clean transport system most countries would die for, amazing 
				cultures, excellent food and great sunny weather, also just 
				going into autumn with the maple leaves changing colour it added 
				for a great time here… Terry 
				  
				I was 
				expecting Tokyo to be a completely mad city, crazily busy and 
				impossible to understand with signs all in Japanese and no-one 
				understanding English!  But I was wrong; the people were so 
				helpful and friendly, almost all able to understand us, and 
				Tokyo not quite the mad world I was expecting.  I really enjoyed 
				the trips to Kyoto and Hiroshima, real eye-openers to gain 
				knowledge of the culture and the history of the country.  I 
				would definitely like to go back and experience more!…
