Japan \o/

[furiosity]

I keep wondering what I should post about on here but it's like, wow, I haven't made a real post in an age and a half. There have been pretty huge changes in my life since I last properly updated but I don't really want to talk about those (not for any sad/bad reasons, I just don't wanna :Dv). Many things are still the same though -- I continue to

These are gorgeous, thanks so much for posting them! We're going for the first time in November and I was getting annoyed, wishing out travel agent would just *listen*. Your pics cheered me right up and put me in the mood for my next Japanese lesson. Studying like a fiend so I can talk to people!

[furiosity]

Thank you!! Ahh I have yet to plan an autumn trip; I think that'll be next on my list -- I hope you have so much fun!! All the prep and planning can be exhausting but it's sooo worth it in the end. :Db

Those pictures are gorgeous, and make me hope that I can take another trip to Japan at some point in the future. I didn't have enough time to visit some of the temples that I went to last time.

[furiosity]

Thank you! ♥ I hope you get to go again soon! I saw all the temples I wanted to see on my first trip back in 2011, this year I'm looking forward to eating ALL the food in Fukuoka and visiting the Shingeki no Kyojin attraction at Universal. :D

[masakochan]

Ahhhhhhh- I'm am now jealous, and shall have to be there in spirit at the SnK attraction. D: (Have you been keeping up with the manga, or watching the anime adaption?) :D

We'll be visiting it on the final weekend it's open which also happens to be Golden Week so don't be jealous; the crowds are sure to be legendary (but there was nothing for it, the timing is what it is /o\). And YEAH I'm keeping up with it all for sure -- I'm not SUPER FANNISH about it like I don't feel moved to write or read fanfic or anything, but I do love it a lot; I even got the wings of freedom as a tattoo in Japan last year. :D

What gorgeous pictures of Japan in the spring, with all the cherry blossoms!

[furiosity]

Thank you!! :3 It was all so very pretty, I was so lucky that I arrived just in time for 満開

Oh, lucky you! *.* Going again so soon. :3 Japan is addictive...

I love the pictures, you were really lucky last year with the sakura blossom, you had perfect timing.

The Ueno folder was amazing and I saw you also could not skip the Zoo! XD The panda was a lazy ass when I was there...

Which are the destinations this time? Re-visiting any places (e.g. Iwami)?

You know how to live - a con in Las Vegas? Sounds super fun! >.<

[furiosity]

It really is addictive! And there's never time to see enough in 2-3 weeks, but that's all the vacation time I can get at one time, alas. YEAH I super lucked out last year! I booked the trip hoping that I would at least catch SOME of the blossoms but it turned out to be totally perfect timing, yay \o

[airisu7425]

You'll be a Japan expert, seeing more things than most of the Japanese people. XD

I'll be interested in your opinion of the Universal Studios in Osaka - if it is fun, I'll try to squeeze it in myself. Is the SnK theme park there?
Bunnieeeees! <333 That place must be a paradise.
A Japanese friend of mine is living in Fukuyama so I will add that area next time. I plan to visit the place of Ponyo which are in that area. But one thing is for sure: will go back to Iwami. There is something special in that place and it keeps pulling me back. Oh, and Iwaiya - the ryokan was superb there, so I must re-visit that too.
In Tokyo are you planning to go to anime themed cafés, too? And maybe a doujinshi event? Have you been to one of those?

I am sure you will have a great time - enjoy it to the fullest! :3

[furiosity]

ah sorry I totally forgot to respond to this

[secretsolitaire]

Wow, gorgeous photos! Love that huge teddy bear. :D

[furiosity]

Thanks!! Yeah that bear was amazing. *_*
