    Kenzan takes on Japan!

    (Put this in the Multimedia section as there will be photos to come)

    Well folks,

    Your Ol' pal Kenzan is about to visit the land of Sushi and Samurais.
    I'll be in Osaka first, then traveling down south to Oita prefecture to harass the Snow Monkeys.
    This is a Red Letter day for me, as I've been trying to go for about 20 years, but always at the last moment some craptastic obstacle has come flying up from out of nowhere, be it from job change, or family emergency, or Space Slugs from dimension 4Q (But I'd rather not go into that as a apparently I can never go to the County Museum again.)

    In fact, this time around, I got fairly sick just a couple of weeks ago, but luckily I have cheated fate and am good to go.

    Though I am not bringing Bogu, I plan of visiting quite a few Kendo Dojos while I am there (I understand there may be a few.)
    ~and hopefully get a Ratulin-worthy Iaito.

    So I've packed my anti-Ninja kit, and am off.

    I just hope I can find a good Sushi restaurant.

    Do you think they'd mind If I brought my wetsuit and snorkel set to the Osen?

    -No way I'm showing my naked bits to a bunch of Snow-monkeys.

    Pix to follow!

    Always laugh when you can. It is cheapest medicine.
    ...and it keeps the ravenous, man-eating squirrels off of you.

    Congrats, have FUN Kenzan!!!

    Onsen won't have the wonderful healing effect on you unless you go into it naked! Just do it! lol

    Hey, look for "kon-yoku", that's the type of onsen that men and women share the same tub.

    I can see it now... the "first thing" being: "Good morning, mademoiselle! Nice weather we're having, no?"

    And she'd be like

    Thank you.
    For some, It's a trip they probably take twice a year, no big whoop.
    For the likes of me, however, it'll be a lifelong dream fulfilled.
