Happy New Year!
Things are coming together for my trip. Airline tickets have been purchased, hotel reservations have been made for the days in Hiroshima and Kyoto (though I am waiting to hear back from the hotel in Miyajima), and I have been granted permission by the Imperial Household Agency to visit Kyoto Gosho.
My departure date is rapidly approaching and there is still much to do before I am ready, such as learning the words of things I don't want to be served in restaurants (octopus, raw chicken and horse sashimi immediately come to mind).

In early 2008 I spent 37 days as a gaijin (foreigner) in Japan. This is a journal of my experiences.
