Going to Japan!
I've been 'planning' it for a while, and I just bought my ticket today. I'll be going for the last 2 weeks of September, hopefully to attend the Tokyo Game Show. If I'm lucky I'll be able to spot some of my favourite Journalists over there.
Even if I'm not able to go to the show, just being in Japan should be pretty cool. Has anyone been and have any survival tips?
I've never been to Japan, but I have some family there, so I'll probably visit them someday.
Enjoy the squat toilets.
o.O;
Lucky you, goin to the game central of the world

I wanna go to Japan! My mom always says she wants to take me somewhere cool for a vacation and I wanna go to Japan but SHE doesn't want to.
eat lots of pocky (sp?) its a kind of sweet i've heard that you can get addicted to easily, sounds like it could be fine.
I'm going to japan in my gap year (one and a bit years now :S)
Never been but I do plan to at some point. Not this summer but next summer, it'll be my number 1 place to go on holiday. That is, if I have the money :eep:
Your favourite journalists live in Japan? Doesn't that mean that they kinda speak in, you know, Japanese? So how did you learn Japanese? I don't even have a favourite journalist.Mainly because I don't like text though.
Have a nice trip, bucko.Bring home some small ones.
Well, they had lots of squat toilets in China too, even at rather nice restaurants. I never ever used them. Pocky is pretty overrated if you ask me.

everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
US Game Journalists from 1up and such, who'll be there during the Tokyo Game Show.
The ticket was pretty expensive, over 1,000 for a round trip (Bermuda>New York>Narita and back).
This time I'm going to stay mostly in Tokyo. I might go on a guided tour of the country, but if I went outside of Tokyo by myself I would probably get lost since there will probably be less and less English speakers. I have a small grasp on the language since I've been 'studying' it in bits of free time, but I doubt I know enough to survive where no one speaks English at all.
I intend to bring back loads of Pocky, though... it's an 18 hour flight back from Japan. It might not last the trip.
I'll be going to Japan about a year from now. Just for a couple weeks, but I'm looking forward to it =)
And pocky is awesome!
no matter how important something might be (ie. a giant meteor is in the sky and threatening the planet) you can always just stop in at the Golden Saucer and gamble on some dodos running around a track.

You are very lucky.
I am super jealous!
I didn't think anyone did. ._. I have a least favourite one, that guy from CNN who used to host the Mole. >:oOriginally Posted by Levian
Have a nice trip...and squat toilets sound strange :S
I hope to travel abroad to Japan in my college days. I'm taking Japanese 1 in community college right now, and plan to move up to 5, so that should help.
Yeah, make friends with a few bilingual (English and Japanese) people, so they can help you out.
And yes, I believe Pocky is overrated. It's just cheap butter cookie dipped in chocolate.
Take a lot of spending money ^_^
