[Error: unknown template qotd]Recently, I was reminded of my longtime hope to go to Japan someday. Many other countries interest me, but that one deserves a permanent place on my list of places to visit. However, I would like to postpone my visit ntil I have someone who knows a lot about Japan and its culture to accompany me. I think that would enhance he experience. If I couldn't find someone to fit that description, I would want to go with a person who is enthusiastic about the culture at the very least. I can't be the only wide-eyed tourist on the trip!
I talk about this hypothetical trip as if I have the tickets in my hand and a plane to board! That is hardly the case. Indeed, there are many obstacles that stand between me and Japan, and I'm not even counting the Pacific Ocean as one of them. I would need a passport. Plus, I've never been out of the country before. I may want to go someplace where it would be easier to communicate like Canada or England before I tackle a a more exotic place like Japan. Then, there's the unholy number of hours spent in the air to get to Japan AND the time difference... Needless to say, I won't be hopping on the next flight to Tokyo any time soon.
