I always admire you folks who take great notes on trips
In fact I wrote this especially for the dojo, my notes are of course in french language and relates more things and feelings… if you read french I will soon published them on my website.
Thanks Stan for your France trip’s notes ! it was a pleasure to read this ! I apologize for french inconvenience…

I think I will probably go next time in Japan in spring, to see flowering and festivals, I have understand Maka that you have come too early to see flowers blossom ? I was believing April was the good moment to see blossom…

I have forgotten to talk of Hello Kitty, Doraemon and Hamtaro that are very present for kids. My search of Usagi has finished in Kansai, it is the country of white rabbit… the only non Japanese comic I found there was the Spanish BlackSad !

The Japanese sure know how to license out their icons
That the less we can say…
What did you think of Arashiyama Maka ?
