Sunday glorious sunday

So as you can propably imagine I'm pretty pumped up for next sunday when we leave for Japan. 
Me and Kim are gonna meet up somewhere at the central railwaystation in Helsinki and take the airport buss to the terminal. 
We have fixed our buisinesses in order and have our flight ticets our JR-Passes and we have allso allready changed some Euros to sweet, sweet Yens. 
As stated previously I will be trying to write my blog as we are there.  Allready we have found few very intresting things to blog about like an all you can eat restuarant in Kyoto and an all you can eat desserts buffe in Tokyo. These are just some of the highlights that I am going to blog about, so do folow me as you'll gonna hear a lot more of the fun and whacky things in and from Japan. 

As a side note: 
Though this trip is shure to be great and amazing it's still going to be clouded by the fakt that my father passed away litle over a week ago on saturday. 
But still I'll make most out of this trip since I'm shure thats what he would allso have wanted. 
It's been a rough week as you can imagine, but life  goes on, as hard as it might to be. 
Bless you Dad and rest in peace.

Where the sakuras blossom

Now then that I have graduated from my Highschool it's time for yet another trip. 
This is something that had allready been brewing in my head since last january when I came back from Japan.
I swore to myself that I'd go to Japan again in the next summer and ... surprise, surprise, guess who is going to Japan :) 
Well this time I'm really pumped up for the next round, mainly because now I will be staying there for 17 days and will be visiting various locations as : Hiroshima, Nagoya, Tokyo, Kyoto etc. And this is still just am idea, but I was thinking of visiting the area where the tsunami wreaked havoc last year, Sendai. I'd like to see the reconstruction with my own eyes and write about it.
I really felt for the poor people who had to go thru this travisty. They not only lost their homes but they allso lost relatives, friends, neighbours.
But on the positive note this catastrophy brought the people, the city and the country even closer to eachother. 
"Ganbare Nippon!"

This time I won't be traveling alone as on the last time, but I will be joined by Kim Valkama who is a friend of mine from school. I asked him allready in good time if he would be interested in making this trip with me and he concidered it thoroughly and answered gladly yes. 

So the time line will be 1.7.2012. thru 18.7.2012 and once again we have orderd the famous " JR-Pass " which is a standard aquipment for any traveler out of Japan who wish to travel IN Japan. It's inexpencive and very convinient. 
And as allways, I shall be keeping my daily blog to the best of my abilities and hope to have you, dear reader, with me ! 

Cheers !
