Welcome or Yookoso

Yookoso,

This Blog has been put together as part of my travels around the globe to study martial arts. The first part of my blog and the contents of it will be focused on the study of the Japanese arts. So I am travelling to Japan on 31st May 2010 to start my journey.
I am a strong believer that all forms of martail arts have their strong and weak points. As many great masters will tell you, to understand the way of your enemy (opponent) is to defeat them.
I take no side with any one martial art, but I do believe that a person must study a system or style to it's fullest to gain a greater understanding before the weakness or strengths can be identerfied.
Therefore I have devoted my lift to the martial arts.

Japanese Tip list.

Japanese Tip list



I want people from all over the place to help with this so if you have been to Japan and have a good tip let me know. Send the Tip to my Email address then I can post it. makiofska@gmail.com

Also if you know of some where cool to go that is also welcome, send them in.





Ok I have three tips and thats from the frist week. So by the end we should have loads.



Tip 1. Don't take lighters on the planes in Japane. Not cool.



Tip 2. Do take gifts they have gone down a strom. This must have been the best tip yet.



Tip 3. If your going to use the train in Toky and or buses get a PassMo card. Its like the English Oyster card. Don't worry if you can't speak Japanese all of the ticket machine can be changed to english. Sweet.

Tip4. Don't use the train if you can help it between 6:00pm and 8:00pm so meany such small trains. Its not the faced they just cram as meany people on as they can but every one needs to be doing something, PSP, reading a book or news paper. I almost punshed him.

Keep them coming

The Flight


OK I got some very cheap flights to Japan with Finn air £630. I found them by searching for "cheap flights to Japan". There was no one on the Flights. On the Flight to Osaka I had a hole 2 rows to my self.
The flight took 16hrs and 35Min's, with the change at Osaka taking 2hrs 25Min's. Over all it was hard work and if it wasn't for the fact I was asleep for most of the flights I might have gone mad. I slept so well because I did not sleep the night before the flight. It seems to have worked. I have a little jet lag at the moment but it's livable.
Osaka or Kansai was amazing. The air port is a man made island that is connected to the main land or Kansai by a massive bridge. It's quite the sight from the plane. There was a lot of mist over the main land so the pics I have aren't great; O and the camera I took got broken on the plane. But from this pic you can see the bridge so you get the idea and the size off the place.
Don't Take lighters on the planes in Japan you will lose them. They searched my bag and then took them off me. So the throw away gift lighter idea was a bad one and a waste of money.
