hmm my most fav. thing I've done, well of my most fav thing, was going to Japan with my friend and travelling around, from Tokyo to Iida to Kyoto and Osaka. I took a tremendous amount of photos, here are just a couple. Everything was really pretty and everyone really nice. Sushi was brilliant too! I don't know if you saw that program, the one with rick stein I believe, when he went to Tokyo. He went to a sushi bar, that was the exact same one we went too, was really weird as I was watching the program thinking that the sushi place looked really familiar!

Then went on to Hong Kong where we met up with two more of my friends from Uni and explored around there! Was amazing! So much to do!

Cool was it like Factions? Did you have to contend with Kappa's and the Crimson Skull?

Those castles look amazing

haha, yea I donned my Rt outfit and dashed around with various jugs of ashes dropping them along the way. Was fun! hehe

The Castles were brilliant inside, the views from the top were great!

oh my gods it's bootiful benji!  how did you ever manage to drag yourself away???

I nearly went to the Golden Pavilion, but went to Ryoanji instead. Did you go to Kyomizu? Its really lovely.
I've never actually been to Tokyo, but my uncles invited me to stay with him there in a few years

It was hard to drag myself away Was a brilliant place. I did go to Kyomizu! It was really cool! did alot of temple hopping but couldn't quite manage to go to all of them. There are loads! Went to Universal Studios, Sega world, and the big Aquarium too! Did so much! Want to go back again soon any maybe xplore around Australia too

How long were you there for?
I only went for 2 days, you'd need like a week to see most of the temples

I was over in Japan for 3 weeks roughly, staying in Tokyo for a week, then travelling to Iida, Kyoto, Osaka for a week, then back in Tokyo for the remaining time. The bullet trains were amazing! So much leg space, plus I got myself a bento box for the journey. Everything swooshed passed really fast and it was really weird going from inner city to countryside...I also went apple and pear picking on the hills of Iida, was brilliant, and rode a bike all around Matsumoto, was so much fun! I love the sprinkles you get for the rice to add different flavours, if you know where to get that in England that would be fantastic as I've been looking all over. Where was it that you went for 2 days? I would love to go back!

Oh, Kyoto. I usually just stay in a town near Nagoya, my grandfathers house is there.

You can't get those rice toppings in England?
There must be some Asian food stores around where you could get them. I mean, I live in Ireland and I can buy them, so they have to be in England!

I'll go on a hunt...I was in China Town in Manchester but couldn't find any ( I'll keep looking, I'm sure they will be stashed somewhere. D mmmmmm I'm hungry for rice toppings! LOL I'll have to book another journey over there when I've earnt some money
