I tried. Really tried. To make a comprehensive plan for my trip to Japan. This has happened before. Everytime I have been to Asia. There's no way to plan it, Every time I have been to Asia I have had a host. There's no way to plan if you have a host.
In 1997 I went to Tokyo as a teacher of a software application. My host was Ohmura-san. and I had 8 students. Every day they picked me up at my hotel. They took me everywhere they could. We ate, drank, and explored Tokyo. We drank tequila and scotch. Went to clubs, restaurants, old Tokyo. They dropped me off at my hotel each night.
When I went to Korea in 1996 I had a bit more freedom. I taught at a hogwan ... we would explore the city ... and just take a cab home. AI learned my way and took cabs and found my way around.
When I went to China my friend took care of everything. Crossing the street. Everything. Where to eat, what to do. Where to go, When to nap. what to see -- where to travel. Awesome.
So now I am going to Japan; to visit my friend. And she is doing everything, as much as I try, she is going to make the plan. I think I am just going to go with it.
