Want to go to Japan
Trying to plan my first vacation trip ever and I think I want to go big and head over to Japan. I probably still have rosey glasses on, but I can't help romanticizing the idea of what it will be like. Shibuya, Shinjuku, Akhibara; all exciting looking places. There are shrines to visit and even the founding dojo of my karate ryu.
Trying to find good advice on what its like to travel there. Expedia just lists your usual packages and seems like the expensive (but all inclusive) option. I'm having fun digging through wikitravel and the various expat blogs, but all the tips and advice are piece-meal, discordant, and difficult to follow. Has anyone I know traveled there before?
Well.. have to apply for my passport this week and file my taxes before I can even think about going for sure.
If it turns out to be just too expensive... has anyone been to Laos, Vietnam, or somewhere else that would be interesting?
