Japan Trip May 2008(aka Japan Round 6)
Just hammering out the final details of the May Japan trip. As you all know (well not all of you but I will say it anyhow), every year since 2004 I have gone to Japan to train the martial arts. Last year I managed to make it twice. This said, I am trying to organize a group trip. This will involve group rates for travel (I hope) and co-ordinates places to stay. If you are interested let me know and I will put you on the list. Usually you would plan to travel from 17-19 days and spend $4000 (as a safe estimate). It is difficult training that much and getting used to the culture for some. If you are coming and are trying to practice your Japanese, I do have resources to help. Let me know and I will get you what you need. From now until May I don’t expect anyone to be able to master the Japanese language, but ordering food and asking for directions are very important skills to have.
I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a Safe and Happy New year. I look forward to training with everyone in 2008.
