Mainly as a way to entertain myself on this boat here`s a won`t/will miss list of Japan.
WON`T - The cost of this place! it`s ridiculous, even doing it as cheap as possible, eating once a day, skimping on activities it`s still 4 times the cost of anywhere else I`m visting (bar europe)
WILL - Politeness; with a very limited vocab you never feel helpless over here, people are quick to run to your side, give u directions etc... saying that at the same time it is hard to get past that point with them, to have a conversation is really difficult on the whole, even when they`re able to speak english, their amazingly introverted.
WILL - Food here has been really nice, I`ve tried all kinds of new stuff, certain sushi which I`ve never seen back home, the otoymaki, taky yaki (octopus dumplings) ramen
WON`T - Food here is also massively lacking in meat, veg, it`s to expensive to buy fruit and the portions are a little small for my comparativly much larger appitite.
WON`T - Crossing a road here is a very organized affair. The street can be the width of a car, a gap small enough that I could jump from pavement to pavement and yet there`s a green man crossing, there can also be no cars coming either way for as far as the eye can see but yet the queue will grow until the little man pops up and then everyone crosses together. The times when I`ve thought sod it and just quickly walked over have resulted in a look of shock from the locals as if I`d offended Budda himself.
WILL - Transport isn`t just the most effcient, clean and quick, but it`s also the most polite.. nothing like a little song when you arive at your destination and then a electronic "thank you" from the ticket machine as you go through.
WILL - I can`t imagine a cleaner place the world over. I saw a few pieces of litter in a month, and that was a real effort to search out. It`s not even like they have a good number of bins it`s just they have enough respect to just not launch it on the floor.
WILL - The amount of arcades and easy access to manga. I should of been born in Japan really, comics, games, movies, gadgets, cool design... it`s like listing my hobbies and interests.
Welcome,
to yet another travel blog!
This is the second time I’ve wrote this intro thing. I wrote one trying way too hard to sound the way I wish I could write. The truth is though, since my GCSE’s I haven’t had to do any proper writing what-so-ever. I did all art A-level as well as an art degree and now work as a graphic designer.
Hopefully it turns out alright, I’m going to try to update as much as possible and if you need to email me privately I’ll be checking my mails every week or so, so just click the mail button above. If the writing becomes too painful then you can go straight to all the photo’s from the "Pictures" link at the top, as will all my videos.
Cheers to anyone who ends up reading this, although I’m sure it’ll become a spam paradise of abuse from friends and work colleagues..cya all in a year or so :D
