Hello family and friends! And greetings from Kobe, Japan! This is my first trip to the Orient and I'm so excited and feel so blessed to be here. I hope you enjoy reading about my journey and experiences here as they will be life altering for me, in that the experiences will all be new and exciting. I arrived in Japan last night at 6:45 pm local time. My flight from Detroit to Osaka was delayed by an hour but we still arrived just 15 minutes after our original scheduled arrival. The airport wa...

Hello again! First of all, I was remiss in detailing a few things from the trip here. We had a layover in Detroit for about 3.5 hours. So, we went to Chilis for lunch, then to the NWA lounge. Our flight was supposed to leave at 3:35 but was delayed until 4:45. The gate agent said to check about 3. So, we checked periodically until 4 and heard the same. All of a sudden, at about 4:10 they make a final boarding call announcement for our flight! Debi and I were freaking out and grabbed our stuff...

Today began with another interesting Japanese buffet breakfast. On the buffet you can find anything from fermented tofu, to baby bananas, and an omelette station to chicken nuggets and fries--for breakfast! Some of the group (Pat, Tim...) are not such fans of the Japanese cuisine so thank goodness for fries and ketchup! On another note, when they got in last night Tim decided to go for a run. He thought it seemed pretty straightforward so he took off...and then he was lost. He couldn't figure...

Well, we just finished the first full day of our global communications conference. It was such a great experience to be in the room and hearing from so many smart people. We started with a few corporate presentations and then did an icebreaker. We had everyone write down a question that began with "Why does..." Then we collected the papers, folded in half, and gave them to someone else. That person had to write on the back an answer to the question--but without looking at the question! Their ...

... Bay of Japan, going through a small gap between two of the main islands with big city lights lighting up the night sky on either side of the boat with those crazy japanese light displays. We`d made it across two continents without a plane!<br><br>The following morning, with me still feeling seasick, we got off the boat in the morning at Osaka, arranged to meet for some drinks with the rest of the boat travellers later that night and headed off to find our hotel. We ...

Seconds please. I had to go back to Osaka, one way or another (my return flight was leaving from here). Ate just as well if not better than the first go around. Went to the Takoyaki museum at Universal city walk but it was more tako vendors than museum, not such a bad thing. Had simply amazing Kobe ...

Basically, he saved an emperor's life and was decreed lucky and raised to privileged status.<br><br>A "cat cafe" is where you go to hang with a bunch of cats:) Think of it as a petting zoo with cats.<br><br>My roomie, Rowan, mentioned this Japanese phenomenon and said there was one nearby in Den Den Town.

... and went out to explore Arima. After visiting various shrines and hot spring holes we did some shopping and rested our weary feet at a hot springs hole in the middle of town... every city should have this! You can move down the "ladder" going from super hot to warm water (we learned this the hard way). When we returned to our ryokan we prepared ourselves for our traditional 16-course kaiseki dinner served to us in our room by a woman wearing a ...

Week 7 (11.28 - 12.04.04) - Craig's birthday being on Thursday, we decide we should go out all night in Osaka to celebrate the occasion. As I said before, the trains stop running at 12:20, so if you miss the train you pretty much have to get raped by taxis and hotels or just stay out all night. We start at a little joint where we have set up a deal with e owner for Y400 drinks ($3.25)...realize that most of the time the drinks in Osaka would usually cost Y700 -800 ...
