That's Blackpool for you.
I went to Tokyo, pussycatj.
It was brilliant, as always, despite the biblical natural disasters Japan really is so fascinating, and it was nice to feel warm all the time even in torrential rain. There's so much to see and never enough time to see it all, and the people are lovely. I'm now overcoming my fear of not being able to speak or read the language - I even managed to travel around alone some of the time, which was quite an achievement for a scaredy-cat like me.

Wow P, sounds absolutely awesome, myself and OH are going to the Far East as soon as the kids are off our hands. Did you manage to go any of the remote areas? I bet there is such a cultural difference, and as you said, a bit 'scarey'. Good for you

My cousin lived on Japan for 2 yrs teaching English, she loved it there but said it was another planet.
Welcome back....again.xxx

Welcome back

Nice to see you back, although I'm a wee bit jealous. I've always wanted to go to Japan, but never managed.
Glad you had a good time. Nice to have you home though.
Glad you're back safely Peterkitty! xx
I took the wrong turning and I'm still in Blackpool - well Norbreck to be more precise (for anyone how actually cares)

I've been going there for 4 years now (my OH is Japanese). We've mainly stayed around Tokyo, though we tend to seek out the things that tourists don't do. I've also been to Kyoto which I heavily recommend, though do try to avoid July/August if you don't like hot, humid weather. Fortunately, I love it!
It certainly is another planet. It's so strange not being able to read most of the signs, though the transport system is quite "Anglo-friendly" with stations announced in both English and Japanese. That's if you can read the maps of the train system
If you do go, try seeing some of the less popular shrines and temples (like Tokyo Daijingu - lovely!). Oh, and take plenty of money. The Japanese excel at selling you stuff you never realise you needed
Welcome back Peter
Aww and thanks for all the "welcome back"s. It makes the jetlag that much easier.
Welcome home Peter glad you had a lovely time

Hi Peter.
Welcome back.
I read your opening post too quickly and I thought you said you`d had the tail of a python!
Hope you had a great time.
You left a space on here, so it is a good thing that you are to put things in order.
