Despite how long we have waited, hoped and dreamed, Japan is not getting any closer. Nope. I keep checking.
There's nothing to be done about it, but hop a long wonderful flight and get it done! And 2012 is as good a year as any.
The calendar is marked for May and there's been furious google mapping, flickering, and pinteresting since we declared this trip a go. Because there's so darn much to see, my husband and I decided to make a list of our goals for this trip. That way, when we return, we can say, Yes... we did that!
My list:
-Visit the Moss Temple. (You have to write the monks a letter, using paper and pen and handwriting, and put it in the mail, with a stamp, to get an invitation to attend! How exciting! Paper!)
-Walk down a crooked narrow street with hanging lanterns and little antique shops.
-Spend some hours in a stationary store squealing and drooling over tiny papers and packaging.
-Miss breakfast tacos.
-Browse some high-end ceramics shops like this one.
-See Lady GAGA concert in Tokyo.... (bonus points)
