Did you see Karen got engaged? I have this image in my mind of Jheri planning to moonwalk into the wedding wearing an all white suit and one white glove during the "speak now or forever hold your peace" segment, do a flip of his hair, soaking everyone in the chapel, lighting a cigarette, and taking Karen away on his white stallion.

Sounds like a plan to me. Would love to get some direction in where to stay. 1265 for accommodation doesn't sound so bad, especially in Tokyo and if it's a half decent place. I'll certainly keep looking but having a fall back plan is always ace.

Most of our touristy stuff should be obvious enough but like to really engage in modern Japan I think we need to come along with you and start finding these trees in Hyogo

oh dude congrats! Glad you got that extension on your visa. At the moment my plans are looking like I'll be over there between November 10 and leaving somewhere between December 1-7 depending on planes flights and how far the money will go. I'm happy to fit around your mam; if it were just me I would be like "oh I'm super friendly and parents love me" but I'll be travelling with a buddy of mine and I don't wanna make things awkward for her or you or him

Obviously whenever is best for you to take time off as well; we wanna see some stuff in Tokyo, do the ordinary touristy thing, but we also wanna like head out to Shirakawa, Gifu and probably a bunch of other places too. I need to figure out a better list of that stuff but I think having Tokyo as our hub is probably easiest albeit not exactly cheap.

Basically my buddy and I have been big Japan nuts forever, playing video games and watching movies and anime and just generally lapping up the modern and traditional culture so we're just going over there to see as much as we can see and enjoy every aspect of it. I'm probably gonna go and start making lists of like cool things and researching online for temples and whatever but I just wanted to check from someone who's there if there are any cool things we might not know of. I dunno, I'm struggling to get motivated on the whole planning thing when it's so far out.

Budget wise I'm not 100% sure but keeping prices low is my hope. After flights I've got about $4k AUD lying around but that could go up or down depending on how smurfed over by the government and life I get between now and then. Should be a decent enough benchmark though, but I'm hoping for more just because accommodation for three weeks is not gonna be cheap.

Anyway yeah I'm just flailing and spouting nonsense so w/e but I'm hella keen to see you and participate in one of your legendary tales.
