Like you, I do wish to visit and experience as many countries as I can afford but at the same time, there are also those that's calling my name again (i.e. Peru, Chile, Morocco)The Nomadic Pinoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256568728185196065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-70218693124238887682011-08-05T23:43:22.908-04:002011-08-05T23:43:22.908-04:00Dennis, I do want to go back to Japan. Pero may ka...Dennis, I do want to go back to Japan. Pero may kakompetensya, you know, the desire to visit 100 countries before I die (it's 19 right now, turning 20 this Monday). Given that goal, I probably would want to visit countries where I haven't been to yet, over Japan. But then I want to go back too. I dunno, I guess the best solution is to submit an abstract to a conference held in Japan and get accepted so I have another reason to go back than simply to visit again, and then extend the trip by a few days. We'll see, the annual meeting for the Cognitive Science Society will be in Sapporo in 2012! :)Jeruenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902095693318762587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-50198322722888090522011-08-05T22:41:59.531-04:002011-08-05T22:41:59.531-04:00lakwatsera de primera,

I'm back from the trip already - this was last month. Never had the banana cake but I ate Kasutera cake and it's so yummy!<br /><br />Pinay Travel Junkie,<br />Japan really poses a challenge for those with a shoestring budget but as it is, the rail pass is the only 'cheap' option for extensive rail journeys.<br /><br />Trotter,<br />The first time is always the most memorable haha! Like everything in life :) Enjoy your 'staycation' before your next trip!<br /> <br />docgelo,<br />I admit to loving Japan just like you do but certainly not earthquakes and tsunamis. There was actually an earthquake on my 2nd day but never felt it because I was on the train - buti na lang or else di na ako makatulog haha!The Nomadic Pinoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256568728185196065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-2412009093902756332011-08-05T21:29:07.629-04:002011-08-05T21:29:07.629-04:00dennis, i am always lost of superlatives with your...dennis, i am always lost of superlatives with your posts, haha! you know that i like tokyo and this post is just beyond amazing. nakasakay lang ako ng mala-bullet train from shinagawa to narita airport pauwi sa pinas and yes, the experience of riding their trains is really something. <br /><br />i fell in love with tokyo and would like to go there again with my family but i cannot see myself living there with all their earthquakes and tsunamis, can you?docgelohttp://docgelo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-69634549060795130132011-08-05T19:58:33.094-04:002011-08-05T19:58:33.094-04:00Hi Nomadic!

I've never been to Hiroshima, we used to live in Aomori (northern part) so it would be too expensive for us to travel there hehehe....but I love their shinkansen ang bilis talaga lol....hey are you still in Japan? Did you buy the banana cake (forgot the name) in Tokyo?

That Bento box lunch was very good, puts to shame my packed lunch to work.<br /><br />AsiaBill,<br />serendipity, I guess, hehehe! glad you like the photos here!<br /><br />Chyng,<br />napamura lang talaga ang budget ko Chyng dahil sa free ticket ko to Japan (ok... with $46 tax!) but I admit it can cost more, really more. Buti na lang, the hotels have cut down on prices dahil di pa masyadong bumabalik ang mga turista.<br /><br />Jeruen,<br />I meant to ask you that so now I know where you've spent a part of your teenage life. Was really hoping to see Kobe but my time was limited. Ikaw rin, who knows, babalik ka doon?<br /><br />dong ho,<br />It's really amazing to see a modern Hiroshima when one thinks about the utter destruction it suffered 66 years ago. <br /><br />Photo Cache,<br />Train rides excite me and this one is already up there among the most unforgettable. No, I never thought of bringing that coke bottle for a souvenir *sigh*The Nomadic Pinoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256568728185196065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-42874870476180750222011-08-03T13:23:49.417-04:002011-08-03T13:23:49.417-04:00wow, the train ride alone is an adventure in luxur...wow, the train ride alone is an adventure in luxury :)<br /><br />i like that coke bottle. i hope you saved it for souvenir :)Photo Cachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734663922538063553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-3083353174405575442011-08-03T09:17:08.417-04:002011-08-03T09:17:08.417-04:00now im in full envy. this part i missed. so nice t...now im in full envy. this part i missed. so nice that buildings has already filled the area including the site near the a-bomb dome. <br /><br />i miss that coke can. i forgot to brought home one. i only brought with me those small coke can.escapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572021401129133203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-33427651779570151772011-08-03T07:11:45.790-04:002011-08-03T07:11:45.790-04:00Ah, you got a glimpse of Kobe, where I spent almos...Ah, you got a glimpse of Kobe, where I spent almost five years when I was a teenager! One thing I regret now is the fact that I haven't had a chance to travel within Japan: vacation time from school was usually spent just chilling at home, and I was younger back then, and still had no appreciation for travel.Jeruenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902095693318762587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-20011268521301163052011-08-03T04:54:56.524-04:002011-08-03T04:54:56.524-04:00very cheap compared to 1-way passes, but still, ma...very cheap compared to 1-way passes, but still, mahal talaga.
