Whether you end up taking photos of a reproduction Eiffel Tower, surfing an indoor wave, musing in a Zen temple, shacking up in a love hotel or kipping down in a capsule, you'll do best to come with an open mind and be prepared to be surprised. Somewhere between the elegant formality of Japanese manners and the candid, sometimes boisterous exchanges that take place over a few drinks, between the sanitised shopping malls and the unexpected rural festivals, everyone finds their own vision of Japan.

I’ve always believed that the best way of learning is by doing. And yet, I somehow find myself stuck in lectures most days a week. This is not to say I’m not appreciative of the opportunities university offers, but I cannot deny that 99% of the time ... Read more >

Osaka

Sat, 24 Sep 2011 | By damonlk | Views [59]

To say that Kyoto and Osaka are not much like says not much at all. Kyoto is a neat and compact city no more than a few hours walk in any direction and bordered on the north by rolling hills. Osaka sprawls. It is a port city, and the port itself is ... Read more >

Tokyo

Tokyo felt hardly strange. This makes no sense. The population of the city alone exceeds that of Australia. It is crowded, densely packed, perpetually on the go. Shop signs and hoardings are written in mix of three impenetrable alphabets. This, after ... Read more >
