I'm sure that you are much happier in Japan than you were/would be in USA.

Equally happy, i would say.

Surprising, it seems much, much more interesting in Japan than USA. Or maybe thats just Florida.... Nice thread though! You should upload more pics! ^_^

Were Japan last summer and had damn great time. Best trip I have ever had. Everything was so different. Not to mention ultra kind people. In my opinion though you need to know some Japanese especially if you live there. They spoke very little english at least in Osaka. Usually in restaurants I had to choose blindly because I couldn't understand the menu and waitress spoke zero english. For other days I had translator with me =) (my brother wife is Japanese.). Didn't even have to pay anything as I my parents paid the trip =P (was family trip). Definitely will visit the country again.

Been to Japan twice.
It's an amazing place that everyone should visit at least once.

Time for you to visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

I'll be going in a month myself.

@Khan

Keep up the good shenanigans my good sir. I'm guessing there's a lot of Shiba Inus and Akita Inus around?

There is also a lot of cats! ^_^ Mr Khan told me himself!

You're are very, very lucky Smeags! I wish I could go to Japan. Also... when you live in Florida Disney and all the other theme parks become very bland and boring since you have gone to them too many times. xD

I lived in Orange County, CA for 16 years (Lived 20 minutes away from Disneyland, saw the fireworks every night ), so I kinda know what ya mean. Still, I'm a huge fan of Disneyland... one of the reasons I loved Epic Micky so much. ^_^

And I meant I'm going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, not Japan. Gonna get myself so Butterbeer.

I have friends who are obsessed with The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! It's ridiculous. xD Be careful though! Florida is full of rude drivers and such... also... make sure to not be "that" tourist. We live quite close to Disney World too. Also close to the beach... we're right in the middle of everything!
