Most of the pictures were shot with a Canon 5D or Powershot SD800 IS. I get all of my equipment from  Amazon or B&H Photo as they have the best prices. Support my photography. =)

United Business Class to Tokyo

Flying to Japan isn't so bad when you somehow snagged a world traveler bf, who has free upgrades to business class.  This was my first flight to Asia, so flying business class made all the difference in the world.  We had our own check-in line and we hung out in the red carpet club @ SFO.  On the flight, we had complimentry champagne, wine, nuts, chocolates, grapes, jelly bellys, and filet mignon.  My bf opted for the japanese meal, but I figured that 3 weeks of Japanese food would be enough for me.  We had a choice of 7 movies, but unfortunately i had seen most of them.  I commend United for their business class service.

I don't know how much it ended up costing, but we estimated $3500 for everything (food, lodging souveniers). Our average hotel cost was $130, but the cheapest was a comfort hotel in osaka for $73 and most expensive was $290 for the mikawaya ryokan in hakone.

I enjoyed eating the food but when I ran out of money I had to eat giant beetles with the homeless man. They were good with soy sauce. Anyway, I love Tokyo because there are so many silly, gorgeous boys.!!!!!! I'm into that sort of thing! ;)

I know a smattering of Japanese but Michele does not know Japanese. It's helpful to learn a few words but it's not bad at all.

Wow! Im like a quarter japanese! I soooo wanna go to Japan! If you need to learn Japanese i know a few: Konichiwa (cone-ee-chee-wah) means Hello. If someone is upperclassman - in power or rank you call them senpai. At the end of your friends or relatives name you say chan. *ex: Sara-chan* There you go! Learning Japanese is fun and easy....thats just my opinion. Baibai!
