its good to be back in Japan.
its all happening - cherry blossoms at the sakura festival, giant squid at the fish market, temples in the woodland and snow outside my window. we spent the first week in tokyo walking up and down the river going to flee markets, ramen bars and getting drunk with the locals under the blossoms. we then travelled to nikko and are now in hakuba - two small alpine towns covered in snow. its bloody cold. we have been offered jobs in tokyo and start on the 20th, so we are taking this time to travel around the country. next we head to nara (famed for its hot springs and friendly deer) and then onto kyoto. hope that your all well.
