turning japanese

I'm going to Japan later in the Summer. The flights are on hold and I will be forking out my hard earned cash for them in the next couple of days. I would like to visit Japan more than any where else on Earth. I am excited. One of my friends is teaching English in Tokyo at the moment and everything he has told me just whets my appetite more. sushi. karaoke. weird bars. pachinko. panties in vending machines. sumo. geishas. ridiculous electronics. saying mushi mushi for hello. samurai stuff. It all sounds amazing. I can't wait. Bring on August...
