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!…
