I wonder if the town still uses your English tourist pamphlets? Haha. Will continue to recommend your book to everyone I meet, and, in your honour, will consider the inclusion of Whitesnake into my karaoke repertoire. Thanks again, so stoked to hear from you!The Only Blonde in Osakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202471784604083906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979823393058722453.post-82443973234753046672012-10-07T21:00:12.572+13:002012-10-07T21:00:12.572+13:00Well done on your acceptance onto the Kizuna Proje...Well done on your acceptance onto the Kizuna Project. All the best for the travels out to Tohoku. Sounds like a really worthy project. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your time in Osaka and Tokyo. I was really pleased to hear that my book was a useful reference for you. Japan is a cool place, eh.<br /><br />Your photos of Shinsekai are quite natsukashi. Not many people bothered to make the trip out there from Tennoji. Shame you didn't make it to Kanan cho. Although you would have needed a bike or bus to get there from Tondabayshi.<br /><br />If I may, might I suggest an addition to your karaoke tune list: "Here I go again" by Whitesnake. Always a good time to be had by all.<br /><br />Anyway, all the best with your writing career, and kanji studies. Enjoy Tohuku!<br /><br />Hamish<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14402062688048180384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979823393058722453.post-46104038424256999042012-09-11T15:16:39.744+12:002012-09-11T15:16:39.744+12:00Oh, that's great!

I hope you manage to get hold of it and enjoy it!<br /><br />Cheers for those recommendations, I'll definitely try to hunt them down. =)The Only Blonde in Osakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202471784604083906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979823393058722453.post-49380577067341602232012-09-11T09:23:53.504+12:002012-09-11T09:23:53.504+12:00Ahhhh!!!

Saw this book a long time ago, forgot the title and have been trying to remember it for ages (including doing things like searching for "Japan" and "Osaka" novels on amazon and not finding anything). Thanks so much!<br /><br />Not travel novels per se but really enjoyed "Tokyo Vice" by Jake Adelstein and "People Who Eat Darkness" by Richard Parry, both Japanese crime nonfiction. Not normally something I'm interested in at all o-o Have also heard Hitching Rides with Buddha is good but haven't read it yet.mahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385094035337416597noreply@blogger.com
