Apparently Japanese tourism has declined in the last few months. OK, well a major earthquake/tsunami followed by nuclear disaster probably didn't help tourism. The Japanese Tourism Board is planning to offer flights to foreigners to promote international travel to the country again.

My days in Japanese class at Shaler with Shimizu sensei prompted a lifelong interest in the rich culture and beautiful language of this country. Since 7th grade it has been my goal to travel there one day and explore all of the places that I've only read about. I want to climb Mt. Fuji, ride the shinkansen (bullet train) and eat authentic Japanese sushi and lots of poki!!
Now all I have to do is become a "highly influential blogger." Ha ha!
