A electric tingle shot down my fingers as I rolled the choice over in my mind. What would happen if my parents found out!? "Its japan, no~one has to know .". I felt the anticipation reach across my gut and tighten. "You’re growing up"... Read more >

It isn't so long ago that I went to Istanbul, and although—to enhance my experience—I read Orhan Pamuk ahead of my departure and Pierre Loti while in Istanbul, the memories of the time spent there are fading, leaving behind static images of this ... Read more >

Konnichiwa! I foolishly arrived in
Japan knowing only one word in Japanese, and since that was
'sayonara' ('goodbye'), it wasn't exactly the most useful starting
point for a conversation! But though English isn't very confidently spoken ... Read more >

Well there's really nothing much I can say about this day. We went to the Summersonic Music Festival in the morning and left at midnight! We started off by watching The Wombats at the Chiba Marine Stadium. Then June stayed behind to watch Vampire ... Read more >

We woke up at a disgustingly early 4:30 a.m. and stumbled out into the world at 5:30.
Today was the day we would visit the famous Tsukiji Fish Market.
This is where all of Tokyo’s seafood comes from. It’s also the biggest
wholesale fish ... Read more >

We started the day bright and early at 6:30 a.m. with a dip in the
hot spring at our guesthouse. It’s a shared facility, but guests can
reserve it for private use. Since you have to go in fully naked, it’s
really best that you do this.
The ... Read more >

If it hasn’t been
clear so far, I had an absolutely amazing time in Tokyo. It was fucking
exhausting and my feet were BURNING with pain throughout all 7 days –
in fact the sides of my soles are still aching today – but the trip was
brilliant ... Read more >

One of my main
missions for this trip was to find a wedding dress. Because let’s face
it, if you can’t find a nice dress in Tokyo, there’s little hope for
you anywhere else. All of my hopes for finding this elusive dress were
pinned on ... Read more >

This will be a story of confusion, exhaustion and lots of near-vomitting. Let’s start from the top.
I got about 2 hours of sleep before waking up at 2:30 a.m. to go to
the airport. Our flight was at 6 a.m. We landed at Narita Airport
around ... Read more >

I left Montreal on July 14th, 8:30. They call this day "Bastille day" whereas as a French girl, it's "THE" July 14th for me : our national day. I spent it in planes and airports, for what we can currently call the trip of my life.... Read more >

The day has come to try the REAL raw fish. Throughout my short stay in Tokyo, I've been dreading this day. Tokyo has been a wonderful city. To me, Tokyo is bright lights, pretty girls and the city that never sleeps, well part of the city anyway -... Read more >

Travellers often avoid Japan because of it's reputation for being expensive. This was certainly true a decade or so ago, but these days it's quite the bargain.
We visit Japan fairly regularly and go to get our fix of two things: the food ... Read more >

It's just a house on the edge of Tokyo, a timber house constructed to withstand the frequent earthquakes, a house I lived in for a little over a year, a house that we return to with our own family now, a house full of memories, a house cluttered with ... Read more >

The trains here take the concept of punctuality to the absurd. On the way to meet some friends we were down on a platform in Shibuya waiting for the 15:41.
As the train drew into the station I thought "it's early", but then, as we watched ... Read more >

either rice
paddies or golf courses ... Read more >
