Big in Japan

In flipping through the pages of my passport recently, I realized that it has beeen awhile since I have taken a trip out of the north american hemisphere. Examining the customs stamps and trying to make out the dates brought exciting thoughts to mind. I have spent the last year or so exploring the US -and she is vast and I would advise anyone to rent a car sometime and explore the west coast -because it a unique experience - but one of the compelling reasons for moving out here was easy access to the pac rim and asia. I've been to Thailand and India -but today found myself thinking about Japan. I want to go there soon to satisfy the explorer inside me and I can't think of a place I'm more eager to experience. I am fascinated with classical japanese history and there is nothing like stepping into a 2000 year old culture as an outsider for the first time. I want to do an apartment swap rather than staying at a hotel if possible to be closer to their everyday way of life. Hoping the stars align and this happens soon.
