So, I was telling you in my introductory post entitled "Hello Great White Yonder" how a love for writing was spawned when I went to Japan, and how I didn't have the wherewithal to archive the stories that I had written...Well, well I found one of the chapters for you guys, so that you can get a taste of what my experience in Japan was like. Please read the post entitled "Chapter 4: Backpacking throughout Osaka and Kyoto".
Let me just say that I highly encourage international travel, especially from Americans because we can be so Americentric (is that even a word), that we have no idea what a huge world we live in. There is so much to learn from other nations and cultures and WE, as Americans, think that our little microcosm is where it's at. I am here to tell you that that mindset couldn't be farther from the truth. I bet if more people traveled abroad there wouldn't be as much racism and warring with other nations. International travel is a very eye-opening experience, to say the least, and I hope that you will put that on your bucket list.
If you've not traveled abroad where would you want to go first and why; and I'm not talking about Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean islands?
