Well, its been another rough month out here on the edge of civilisation.  Aside from the normal day to day lunacy of Tokyo, I managed to squeeze a short trip in to Nagasaki. 
Nagasaki is a great city with a real cosmopolitan feel to it.  For example, I bet not many people know [...]]]></description>

You know what I really hate?  
I am not talking about the mild contempt I hold for Amsterdam&#8217;s Schipol airport (has anyone ever met anymore who took a flight from there which left on time?), or the growing dislike I am nurturing for people who wear socks with sandals, but an all consuming passionate [...]]]></description>

The Spiritual Tourist
Sometimes, especially after another hectic week hanging around airports, when the meetings blend into one long procession of smiling suits and bowing figures, I just have to escape.  
Tokyo is a fantastic, throbbing place to live.  It&#8217;s hard not to be swept up with the infectious enthusiasm for life as I [...]]]></description>

My life had come full circle.  In a few days I would be leaving Japan for a job on the other side of the world. I had come to Hiroshima on one last whirlwind trip of Japan.  My life in Japan began with a trip to

It was cold, very cold.  Small flurries of snow were whipping around me, my teeth began to chatter ominously.   I was standing on a deserted street in Sapporo late one winter night.   
&#8220;Welcome to Sapporo, one of Japan&#8217;s most pleasant and lively cities!&#8221;  exclaimed my frozen tourist information map. [...]]]></description>

Standing amongst the delicately scented flower gardens of Kamakura, and
soaking up the deep sense of history which seems to seep from every
crevice of the numerous temples and shrines, it is almost impossible to
believe that you are only a short hop from the bustling Tokyo
metropolitan centre.  A sense of peace and tranquillity hangs heavy in

Perched on the edge of Kyushu I closed my eyes, and apart form the
salty tang to the air, could almost believe that I was back in Holland.
It may come as some surprise that Holland and Japan have always had
strong links since the first Dutch ships arrived nearly 400 years ago. 
Considering they were aiming for [...]]]></description>
