I was originally planning to write a series of posts with travel tips for Japan, but in the interest of sticking to what this blog is supposed to be about, I decided on one super-mega-post.

    Damn between the toilet technology and the food...I am sooo gonna go there in the future! Sounds like a great visit.

    Yeah I'm glad we finally went. The 10 hour plane ride is rather brutal though.

    I think I got two birthdays with the jet lag and time difference - kidding.

    Love reading about your experience of Japan! My husband and I are taking our 13 and 16 year olds (they both love anything Japanese) to Japan for a 2 week vacation on June 17. Really looking forward to discovering the old and new culture together. Any qwerky 'must sees' for teens in Tokyo? We're also going to Kyoto, Hiroshima, Takayama and Hakone.
    Cheryl from the Bay Area too!

    In Tokyo I was recommended to go to the Sony store, and Akihabara the electronics area, and also there is the Harajuku area where youngsters dress up like cartoon characters. I didn't get to go to all of those places though. Kyoto is awesome! Lots of temples and historical Japan. Shopping is amazing in both cities.

    In the large cities (Tokyo, Osaka, etc) I never have a problem finding Indian or Mexican food. They are not as common as in the west but they are pretty prevailant. Chinese places are pretty common as well, but other asian specialties were not. Very few Malay or Thai places... Korean usually has one or two offerings in even some of the smaller cities, with korean pickles and other staples quite easy to find in all the food stores including convenience stores.
