well, job searching...which is a job in itself...
i was hoping to squeeze in another trip by the fall, and save some $$$ for it, but i am doubtful since, if i start a regular job, and not temping jobs, then i will be locked down for awhile, so, possibly next summer, a week or more to Japan...by then, i will have more money saved and know what areas to visit.... :metaldevil: :applaud:

I see. As for me, it's gonna take a long while before I could go on a trip to Japan. Still gonna graduate on march and get a job to have enough money for a trip. Unless there will be another outside the country affair in my fraternity or my mom suddenly decides to have a vacation in Japan, which is not most likely to happen :sweat: . Well good luck on your job searching and in the process, save money for your trip to Japan :fingerscrossed: :)

thanks...
last years, i had time after a job ended, and save a bunch of money, went with a good friend on 3 weeks notice...and said, let's go for Japan!
next trip, i'll plan more in advance, as there are so much to see and do, and will brush up on more japanese language skills.

yeah, i would stay as long as my schedule would allow me....and budget.
ideally a month....realistically, probably only 10 days...
with most of my time spent in Tokyo, and some in Kyoto again. If i can squeeze in some days, some in Hokkaido, and other areas.

my Japanese has improve a little, but i would still have to rely a lot on a phrase book to communicate next time. Also, i have a few pen pals, i could visit in Japan. until next time, i just have the pix to think of japan. :sweat: :bonk:

It's a must-win situation in a game like this :mrgreen: :hehe:

Like Sudden Death Penalty Kicks....but instead of Win or Go home....Win or Lose your Sack.

i could barely see it on the train from tokyo to hakone because it, too, was cloudy at thet time.
