Why you should go to Japan now

This post is in no way minimizing the radiations problem. I hope, however, that it will make you think about turning off your TV and checking various reliable sources ( = not medias wanting to use a story to make a profit), as well as using your brain. In the end, going to Japan is … Read more

Slideshow : Matsushima

I do have to say that the day started at the train station in Sendai with a very creepy, old, sweaty, fat and ugly man looking at my ass and boobs constantly, with a pervert gleam in his eyes. I’m still utterly disgusted by this. Matsushima is one of the three scenic spots of Japan … Read more

Sendai : The Castle That Doesn’t Exist

Ah, guidebooks… evil little things. Nadia and I had a concert to attend in Sendai, but since it started at 6 pm, we had an entire day to visit the city. So, we took the touristic loop bus and looked into our guidebook to see where we could go.Huge temples complex with many stairs, in … Read more

So, that’s one of the hardest visa to get ?

I had been told that getting a Chinese visa was quite hard ; I’ve read dozens of travel blogs where people struggled for it, or couldn’t even get it. Last year when the Universal Expo started, they closed more than half of the visa applications coming from France, and French people are now unable to … Read more

To Winterfell !

Sorry, my Game of Thrones addiction made me write this title. After visiting southern Japan, I headed up North (reason for the title). Not in Hokkaido region, it is still on my to-do list. I went back to Tokyo after my awesome time in Kagoshima with my dearest friend Ally ; we spent a few … Read more

One of the best places I visited so far…

I can’t describe the feeling I had when Sakurajima, the volcano in Kagoshima bay, erupted in front of me. It was a small volcano “fart” rather than a real eruption, there was no lava at all, just an explosion. But my volcano-obsessed self was screaming with joy. In three days, it erupted six or seven … Read more

3 days far from civilization…

…Or, as far as possible when you are in Southern Japan. Japan is a crowded country, for me who come from a small city. I was always surprised to find out how many people were living in a town that I thought was tiny, after having been to Tokyo. Up in the mountain of Miyazaki … Read more

Mt Aso attempts

I am a volcano freak so of course, going to the Mt Aso caldera was something to do while Ally and I were in the Kyushu region. We left Kumamoto one morning for a daytrip to the volcano despite the horrible weather and took a train to Aso station, where we waited for the bus. … Read more

Tonight we dine… in HELL

Beppu, in the Kyushu region, was the first city to grant us the sight of a bright sun. We arrived in the afternoon from Kumamoto, a city where we spent two very boring days in the hotel room because of a really bad typhoon and flood. All we did was watch ridiculous Japanese TV shows, … Read more

Kids, kittens and haunted temples in Nagasaki

Why did I choose Nagasaki over Hiroshima ? Because I had heard Hiroshima was deceiving, filled with tourists and had absolutely not sights to offer except the ones related to the bombing. When Ally and I took the train and saw everyone getting off there, we felt relieved, it meant I was right about the … Read more
