Well if you have any specific questions feel free to ask, Im really not trying to be a mr. know it all or anything, I just want people to share the same experiences as I have, I have convinced many of my students to visit Japan through Sister Cities, which one is actually going.

thnx for sharing (though it came out wrong at first  )
Q; how expensive are we talking about here???!! |
Expensive what? the food? If its the food it is kinda pricey, for example, places such as Wendys,McDonalds, Lotteria(japanese version of fastfood place), Freshness burger(fast food places) I think are priced the same as in the States, but other places in general are pretty expensive, you could be looking at 10-15 per meal, and the drink prices vary too, for example, there are two types of drinks in some places, what I like to call the buffet drink, and the one time use cup, so if you want to keep serving yourself more drink after you have finished it, buy the buffet cup which cost a little extra, but you can serve yourself tons of drink. Also whenever you go to places like I dont know, subway, even though they have there drink machines outside so you can serve yourself, you can only serve yourself once. And I went to a shakeys pizza, very expensive, I did there special because it was cheap, it cost 25USD for the buffet, so I rarely did that. And I guess it also depends on the location too, since I lived in the big city it was a bit more pricey, I got hit with a 45USD bill for some chicken yakitori once. But if you go Japanese, you cant go wrong, expect to pay a good price for some good food, as a matter of fact, I can recommend some awesome places, that really fill you up in Tokyo, and you pay less than 7USD. And most Japanese places only have beer or water, no carbonated drinks, so you save on your drink money. : ) Well ive said too much.

wow, im jealous! Hot springs are the closest things to heaven! Wow, hahaha. Just dont mind strutting around butt naked, hehehe, go for it!
ONE IMPORTANT THING I have to share, and is a must know thing for people going to Japan, I really recommend this, it will help your trip become less of a hassle. In Japan, you will not find many trash bins anywhere, yes you can find ones that are for drinks only near vending machines, but if you have trash your basically going to have to carry it with you, I was told they don't place trashcans outside on the streets, so that people wont litter, I really dont know how that works. So hold on to your trash, or be careful with what you might be buying at a convenient store, b/c you wont be able to throw that bag of chips away, until you get to your apartment,hotel, or work. I know you might see one once in awhile, but they arent everywhere like they are in the States. And if you do bump into one, careful, Japanese separate/sort everything b4 it goes to the trash, so dont place your bag of chips into a bin made for batteries only, hehe.

More pictures. : ) These are from setsubun festival in Tokyo, you basically buy beans and toss them like crazy, and eat them too, so go to your nearest 7-11 and grab yourself some beans and a oni mask!

Some pics from my trip
My cousin, who swears she can see quite well through all of that
Watch out for the stampede of the buses? Fukuoka.
We are obviously in the right country! A departo in Fukuoka.
Mmmmm, plastic food.
The concrete bunkers are only there to protect you from the, uh, sun.... Mt Aso, a semi active volcano, central Kyushu.
Is it a bus, is it a train? What we think was a school bus, Aso.
How do you like your rocks? Rocks getting boiled in one of Beppu's "Hells".
The impressive keep of Himeji castle.
Typical Japan - not all that effective, but what the hell. Nara.
Thank goodness we weren't driving. Osaka or Kyoto?
Sake festering away happily. Yes, there is alot of bubbling going on. All that's in there is rice, water and yeast. Kanazawa.
These 'wanted' posters were hilarious.
Yes, you too could own a hi tech dunny! But it would be weird if your toilet was smarter than your computer.
