As I’m leaving for Japan in 2 weeks time I thought to enrich (ah ah ah) this part of the forum with my personal story, which of course starts from here, yes from the preparation of the travel and a 360’ view about me and that land (including my ex girlfriend) I hope to be able to update this thread while in Japan to keep you up to date.
This is an extract of my blog:

I’m still trying to figure out what to do there… strange it has always been my dream and now? Empty Nothing, Nada, Nisba, Un piffero volante! Maybe is a sort of “stage” everyone who is about to realise his/her dream… or maybe it is just me.
Well the good point is Ms T. is going to pick me up at the airport, so I’m going to see her after a year, yes it is already a year since she left UK to go back home. I have missed her, but I honestly could not cope with the cultural gap, my weakness? Maybe. But with the pace of one e-mail a month and really poor content I have to be blind to think she wants what I want in a relationship.
But anyway I have moved on and recently found somebody special.
Beside this I have to think about my itinerary, sure.. Tokyo for 3 or 4 days Kyoto and Hiroshima, the week end I think I’ll be in Nagoya, my dear friend Miyax lives nearby and as she works full time will have only the week end to spare.
At my return I wish I could say: Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I won).

All I can say is: "Have fun!"
I have to wait until next year when I have more vacation time and, most importantly, money!

Veni, vidi, vici (I came, I saw, I won).
Slight error, it's ,"I came, I saw, I conquered". Have a good time in Japan mate, i am going for 9 months in 2 days time to Fukuoka.

Not really Vici translated is Win not conquer, Conquer is an English strange adaptation...

Hello from Kyoto!!!!
First of all I hate this keyboard.. the spacebar is far too small...
Well I ll give u some updates...
I arrived at Tokyo airport aroubd 10 in the morning, I haven t slapt at all specially because my gilrfriend didn t wat to let me leave UK in hunger...
I took the Skyline train to Ueano and found the hotel really easily but the started to check in at 3 pm... I was tired and in need of sleep.. also I had to endavour with Ms T (J ex gf or just J gf) at the hotel... so I left the luggage at Ueno st (not an easy task) and wondered around Ueno park and market area untill 3pm, was really hot.. and I needed sleep....
3pm I did check in and went in my room

3pm I did check in and went in my room after few minutes or half an hour Ms Tcame in, just a ciao an hug it was enough for her I needed just a lay... so I asked her what she has done in the year we were apart her response was "nothing special" I was keen to reply with an fcuk off but I refrained that, I gave her what she wanted with really little joy, maybe a plastic doll is more exciting than her...
