JULIA NO FUN: Ekiben
http://julia-no-fun.blogspot.com/2008/04/ekiben.html
My trip to China and Japan. Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Is a lunch box ( bento. Sold at a station ( eki. I got this one in Miyazaki to enjoy during the ride to Kagoshima. Note the use of "enjoy" in the previous sentence - unlike airplane food or most of what you'd find at a train station in the States, ekiben. Are often pretty tasty. 宮崎から鹿児島までの電車で、この駅弁を食べました。日本と比べて、アメリカの駅ではこんなおいしいもの全然ないから、写真を撮りました。 Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Japanese, "no" indicates possession. Naturally!

JULIA NO FUN: Sakurajima
http://julia-no-fun.blogspot.com/2008/04/we-left-kansai-on-29th-and-headed-for.html
My trip to China and Japan. Friday, April 4, 2008. I'd visited Kyushu during Golden Week a couple of years ago with some friends, and we’d hit most of the major tourist areas in the northern half of the island. I wanted to be sure to visit a few new cities, so we got on a train for Kagoshima, the southernmost major city in Kyushu. I’d never actually taken a tour in Japan. I'd traveled a fair bit while I was here before, but I'd always done so with friends or on my own. We had our reservatio...I've notice...

JULIA NO FUN: All I'm saying...
http://julia-no-fun.blogspot.com/2008/04/all-im-saying.html
My trip to China and Japan. Tuesday, April 15, 2008. This statement is both naive and biased, but dammit, I'm making it anyway. If more people did what we did in Hiroshima - that is, visit the Peace Park and attend a baseball game. The world would be a better place. Just ask this kid. July 25, 2008 at 5:39 AM.

JULIA NO FUN: February 2008
http://julia-no-fun.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
My trip to China and Japan. Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Exploring Hong Kong for the first time gives the same feeling you had as a kid when you played in a tree house or visited your aunt with the house that was probably haunted or built a fort in the basement. There's a sense of secrecy, of discovery, of the possibility that you might find a treasure worth millions or a really great hiding spot. Today we rode the tramway. To the top of Victoria Peak. And a glass of tea. At Man Mo Temple. I've had more f...

JULIA NO FUN: April 2008
http://julia-no-fun.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
My trip to China and Japan. Thursday, April 24, 2008. Should I be worried about this? Friday, April 18, 2008. We were fortunate enough to find ourselves in Miyazaki, a lovely city in southern Kyushu, during one of their major festivals. The focus of the festival is a medieval-style archery tournament in which participants on horseback attempt to hit a series of targets. If they can pull off a really excellent Toshiro Mifune. Style yell, so much the better. Japanese-foreigner) divide, how vast and insurmo...

JULIA NO FUN: March 2008
http://julia-no-fun.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
My trip to China and Japan. Friday, March 28, 2008. Messengers of the gods. Today we visited Nara, Japan's first true capital. Nara is a city about 30 kilometers south of Kyoto and thus an easy day trip from where we've been staying. It was my first time visiting there. I've been to Kyoto several times in addition to having lived in Tokyo, so I was excited to see a place in Japan that I'd never visited before. Says it all, really. And begging for the shika-sembei. And everybody has a good time. The Engli...

JULIA NO FUN: Class divisions

My trip to China and Japan. Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Handkerchief hung between business class and coach on American Airlines, presumably to keep the peasants from raiding when they see the champagne cart. Sometimes the most transparent barriers are also the most painful. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Japanese, "no" indicates possession. Naturally! View my complete profile. Where are we now?
