Jim Goes to Japan

I am heading for Japan on July 21st, 2008.

I’ve been stuck in Ontario, Canada for my whole life. I’ve never been traveling and have always been terribly envious of those who have. Instead of school and spending summers back packing around Europe, I’ve spent my early twenties starting a business, failing to maintain a successful business, and building a career. So I suppose I am partly to blame. However, the time has finally come to change that.

This blog is going to detail my adventure. In just a little more than two weeks, I will be joining the globe-trotters out there and experiencing something completely new. I fully intend to post the bazillions of photos I will take as well as video posts of the really interesting bits. I’m hoping that by detailing my trip, others who are interested in traveling to Japan for the first time will have a first-hand account of what it’s like.

In the meantime, you may see things changing fairly rapidly on this site as I try and sort things out to the way I like them. If you have any suggestions of course, please leave a comment or email me: jim at this lovely domain dot com. I may also take a while to get back to people at first as I sort out issues (or simply because I’m busy learning how to speak Japanese).

Wish me luck!
