In about two days, anyway. xD I'll still be around until February 29th, and then I'm hopping on a plane to Haneda airport. ^..^ I'll spend about eight days backpacking around the Kanto area visiting places like Yokohama, Hakone and the Tokyo Metropolitan area. I really wanted to get some shots of Mt. Fuji from Hakone, but it looks like the weather's gonna be really depressing during the time I'm there. Horrible luck... x..X Maybe I'll have a chance to return to Tokyo in the summer...

After Tokyo, I'll be taking the shinkansen down to Kyoto where I'll be spending another 8 days exploring the Kansai area. I'll be going to the ancient capital of Nara prefecture along with Osaka. Most of my time will be spent in Kyoto probably, since there are so many temples and shrines that nobody can really see them all in even a week. xD

After Kansai, I'll continue to ride the train back to Kumamoto. I'll be taking a couple days to stop by Kobe, Hiroshima and spend some time in the Kita-Kyuushuu area. I'm so excited! If I don't have a chance to talk to you all before I leave on March 1st, my internet access will be very limited until about March 20th. So until then, later!
