Why men go to hostess bars in Japan
Posted on Apr 29, 2009, 06:13:45 by rbisset
If that girl was there I would go! I remember walking down a street in Hiroshima and it was full of hostess bars. There were about 100 gorgeous women standing around trying to get guys inside the bars. Whatever was at the top of the menu was 237, ...

Yes I've seen the pics of Hiroshima - actually those make me feel very sad. It still shocks me how much devastation and pain was caused in one fell swoop. I thinks the Atomic Dome is a must visit for anybody interested in this kind of history. ...

Is Japan xenophobic ?
Posted on Aug 4, 2007, 16:37:58 by kitkatgo
I just went to Japan and visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Himeji, and Hiroshima. I don't think I would consider the Japanese people xenophobic. I think they are just different, culturally, than, say, Americans, or other Westerners. I am blonde, and I must have ...

Japanese Rail Pass - value for money?
Posted on May 6, 2007, 14:54:05 by rbisset
I had a 7 day pass and abused it royally I went from Tokyo to Fukuoka in a day! Then spent the rest of the week making my way back to Tokyo via Hiroshima, Miyajima, Himeji, and Kyoto. Was a bargain for the travelling I managed to do.

Hiroshima, Japan...We were hosted by Japanese colleagues at a restaurant, and they ordered everything under the sun. It was fantastic. My favorite was this HUGE raw oyster that was cut into bite-size pieces. Normally raw oysters gross me out, but it was ...

I haven't gone RTW with my kids, but we have taken them on a trip to London/Paris and to Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Himeji, Hiroshima & back to Tokyo) from California. They are 7 and 11 and did wonderfully on both trips. It does depend on the ...
