Travelling throughout Japan (Nov. 15-22, 2008)

I fly directly from Beijing to Osaka to begin a week discovering the legendary Japan.  I’m greated by my dear friend Azusa Okada who has taken a couple of days of to guide me through the orientation.

Not speaking or reading Japanese I find myself somewhat handicapped, especially when it comes to transportation.  Nonetheless, my friend helps with booking hotels and public transportation.
