kyoto! 3 months! wheeeee!
the kansai area in japan is the best place since so many big cities are nearby (osaka, kyoto, kobe, nara). visiting some friends, playing in a band, studying japanese, record shopping...
and i've never even been to new york! i feel like i know japan better than my own backyard
i wanna visit hokkaido this time around
What is up with all these people who go to Japan? Damn...
Personally I really want to go to some other countries and cities (Germany, Prague in Czech, Romania, Japan and Australia)... but I refuse to visit a country that I know little to none of the language (accept Australia... I assume they speak English, heh). One day though, one day. I'm learning German at the moment as Germany is at the top of my list, and knowing German could help me get around in Prague atleast.
yeah, japan is a nerd magnet. i'd love to go to russia, china, poland, and italy but i don't know any of the respective languages. i'd feel too insecure going somewhere and not knowing how to communicate with a majority of the population - so maybe england will be my next stop

I wonder what kind of image that reflects of Americans to the Japanese. Hrmmm, they probably sit around and wonder how it is a nation of Anime addicted nerds who know Pi too 500 spaces figured out how to totally annihilate their military.
Then again, it was nerds who made the atomic bomb. DAMN YOU OPPENHEIMER!
hrmmm... that gives me an idea... it's worse then my blonde man flying a human kyte with curly hair photo I did in High School... don't even ask what the human kyte was saying!
Otaku are really only a small amount of Japanese tourists. In Akihabara we really do stick out though. We are always the people glowing with the biggest smiles of our lives. I once told an employee at Super Potato their store is unique and there is nothing like it in America. He looked shocked, there isn't something like this in every town?
I rotate from performing at the best clubs in town at night to master gaming Otaku in the day. I love Japan. Wish I could be there 3 months especially around Kyoto. Tokyo is cool, but Kyoto is less than an hour from SOOO much. Osaka is the best, and only 30 minutes by train. Lucky!
Turns out we might be going to California again instead of NYC.
My wife is getting homesick and wants to visit Disneyland, Hollywood, and San Francisco again.
I'm actually a bit excited about it as well as it's actually been like 3 years since I've been there.
At least we know what to expect there and we still have some family there.
What's funny is even with the plane tickets it might actually be cheaper than the NY trip
I'm planning on going to a lot of concerts, all summer long. Get out of town a lot, and try to visit friends and family. I'm also gonna go to either California or New York, sometime late in the summer. I'm gonna start going to a concert at least every 2 weeks out of town, starting tomorrow when I go to Sasquatch Festival. Should be fun.

Well- if you'd like to take a trip to China, I'm fluent in Mandarin. Just pay for my plane ticket, room and board- oh and the same for my wife... I'd be happy to translate
