Ok, so next week, starting Monday, will mark Road to Japan’s South Korea week. There will be 5 posts, including the South Korea video of my trip. It’s gonna be awesome.

So if you guys are interested, stay tuned for the 5 part South Korea series.  Gonna be wicked.

Ciao for Now!

Ok guys, very sorry to “bore” you with another post on Japanese Kanji.  BUUUT!  The other day, Annie pointed out a Kanji that made her lol, which in turn made me lol, and i’d like to share it with you.

Ok so firstly, some kanji to stare at:

働　住　食　飲　空　流　留学生
会社　勉強　病院　買

Ok, so they all look relatively kanji-ey, all little pictures, look chinese etc. etc. 

Ok ok, so the Korea post is going to take a while coz it’s gonna be huge and I have over 1 hour worth of footage to sift through and work into a video (or two).  So until then, allow me to keep my avid readers entertained with a little something.

The following movie is just footage of my bike ride to and from Kansai Gaidai.  There’s like 12839823 of them on Youtube, however none of them show the ride there AND back to Seminar House 3.  So… what I’m saying is that this is completely revolutionary! It’s gonna change the world!

Enjoy!

So you may have noticed that some random dude named Paul seems to have infiltrated Road2Japan.com and is tarnishing my lovely blog with his crazy insane wackiness and absurd claims of coming to Japan.

Lifelike representation of Paul

Well, he’s doing so because I asked him to.

Paul’s been a really good mate of mine for about 8 years or so now, grew up together, 13 houses apart.  Now he has decided to spend New Years Day here in Japan, and while he’s at it, join me and my crew on a backpacking trip around Japan.  So he’s hanging around for a month, whilst at the same time offering his thoughts and views before, during, and possibly after his visit to Japan.

WOO 100th post! As a way to celebrate, i’m making this post extra special, lots of eye candy, lots of adventure and a little surprise at the end (I feel there should be a “that’s what she said” joke there…).  Anyway, on with the post!

So the other day I was invited by my buddy Frank to meet him and a few friends at Kyoto.  Objective: Arashiyama!

Arashiyama is a mountain (“yama” = “mountain” - i expect you to all be fluent by the time i’m home), and is famous for the monkeys that inhabit it.  But we’ll get there eventually, things happened before the monkeys!

So Frank + posse were out in Kyoto the night before, clubbing, drinking, talking to transvestites and even being kidnapped by an extremely “cool” Korean guy.  Now I wish I was there, but I wasn’t =’(

G’day my fellow blog readers. My name is Paul. I’m sure that you are all familiar with my awesome mate Jace, and I’m sure that you also know that he is off on a massive adventure in Japan (jealous much :O ). Well, just between you and me, I think that he thought he could get rid of me just by travelling to Japan, well my friends, I think not!!

I haven’t really done a real post about how things are going so far, what i’m feeling and all that stuff, seeing as this is an area of the exchange I really wanted to focus on but haven’t been, and will be focusing more on in the future.

Ok so my time here in Japan has been… well to be honest, a bit awkward.  Things I thought were gonna happen but didn’t want to happen, most definitely happened.  Things I thought weren’t gonna happen, happened.  But then there were the odd things I did think were gonna happen, most definitely won’t be happening.

Confused? Me too.

Ok so… I… went to prison…
