So myself, Stu and JaiB have decided, thanks largely to a ridiculously cheap flight, that Tokyo seems like the thing to do this January. It's not really sunk in yet just how crazy an idea this is.

With less than two weeks to go I find myself frantically researching anything and everything. I'm a pretty experienced traveler but only to European and American countries where the culture is not too dissimilar from our own. This experience is worthless in this case so I've never been more grateful to the internet for its overwhelming knowledge, translation tools and people willing to share their experiences of the land of the rising sun.

I thought I'd join in which is the reason for this blog! I suspect this will be one of those "Holidays Of A Lifetime" people harp on about. With that in mind I'm feeling the need to digitally document every stage of this insanity driven adventure into the unknown.

I wont bore you with the full details of the research I'm doing at the moment but here are some of the more interesting discoveries so far:

• Mountain Dew Crisps are a thing.
• Japanese Toilets are Hilarious/Scary (Delete as appropriate)
• Tokyo Disney Resort Looks Epic.
• Japanese Superstition is brilliant. Apparently If you lie down after eating you'll turn into a cow.

That's it for now. In short, I'm nervous and apprehensive but incredibly excited!
