start looking for the Made in Vietnam stickers... that's where everything seems to be headed. Even china's labor costs are getting too high for places like Walmart.

Hello,

I'm thinking to take a travel to Japan. I want to see the famous sakura, so I think spring is the best time. When is spring or sakura season in Japan? and where can I go to get the best experience for this? :p

also can anyone recommend a good place to experience the best of Japan. Can be food related or city related :victory:

any advise will be appreciated. domo arigato.

ahh i'm DESPERATE to go japan again!! i've been there twice though, on immersion programmes. i must say i'm very lucky to have been there, especially when i stayed with my host families who treated me really really well, like one of their members. i'm intending to go japan to study! (after my two years of national service, that is)

japan is the most beautiful (both in sceneric sense and cultural sense) country i've been to. the immersion programmes have really changed me too. of course, who can forget the super expensive bus and train rides, meals and high cost of living that eats away our money.. :grumble:

but anywayy, good luck to anyone who is going japan soon! hope you have fun!

Days are nearing! :twisted:

Aho, shouldn't this be merged with the "I'm Going to Japan" thread?

Can't believe someone dredged up this two-year old fossil. :bleh:

13 Jan 2006, 03:48 #2619

wow, a thread like this exists.....making me think again of japan...besides the regular going to japan thread. :bonk:
