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 ran out of money so i stayed with a homeless man for the rest of my trip but still had a good time, and i was the new drift king!!!!

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! ;)

very Cool!!! I'm planning my very first oversea's trip this year and i'm going to Japan!!! However I don't know a word of japanese, but i'm meeting some friends there. Were you able to get around ok?

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!
