 Addie's Journey
Hello ,everyone . My name is Addie ,and I usually hang out in the Kdrama section .
I started this thread because I am going to Asia soon : Japan & South Korea to be exact . I thought it would be fun to keep a trip log here ,so I could share my experiences with all of you . I am taking my laptop , and
I hope to be able to post frequently so that my experiences are fresh . If I have a problem with communication ,then I will post later from my notes .
I will definitely post pictures - but that may wait until I return.
If someone had told me 2 years ago that I would be going to Korea ,I would have doubted it very much .
Yet here I am . It is a long and a short story at the same time . I had family that lived on the north shore of
Oahu in Hawaii ,and I got hooked (literally ) on Kolrean dramas on that trip .When I came back to Los Angeles , I went looking for the same show that I had been watching in HI . The rest is history .
I was supposed to visit a friend in Scotland this fall ,but when those plans fell apart , I decided now was the time to visit Japan & Korea .
I am going to spend 7 nights in Japan ,and 8 nights in Korea .The focus of the trip will be Ancient Treasures .....but we will also see a lot of "modern " sights too 
I welcome your participation and posts .
More later

Re: Addie's Asian Journey
There is supposed to be a guide ,but since there are only 2 people ,I can't imagine that it will be a full time one . My travel agent said it would be "locally hosted " .
I am not sure of anything except this is turning out to be more of an adventure than I thought !
I'll bet we'll be in a van or something rather than a bus .....as far as the guide goes - I know there is one ,but will they change at each place ? We are taking trains a lot ,so - will they put us on at point A and meet us at point B?
Who knows ??? I'll have to let you know
It's ironic though ,because in Japan apparently there are 50 people and they had to make 2 groups ..
I will go from being herded to individual attention .HOW STRANGE .
This is the hardest part of the trip for me ...I have been fortunate ,and have travelled a lot ,but for some reason it just doesn't get easier for me . I procrastinate starting to pack ,although I know what I want to take .
All you pet owners will understand this ,but I had to take my dog to the kennel this afternoon . Ii didn't want to take her early ,but animals always know when something is up . It stresses them out ,and you can't pack in front of a dog .Maybe you have seen the sad face that a ****er spaniel can put on ,but it can be torture to have to look at it .
SInce I'm picking her up on the way home from the airport ,I'll have to pack her leash and collar .
I hope that's not a problem for airport security

As I don't know any japanese beyond the few phrases I've picked up on dramas, I found Japan really difficult to get around without help. So a large group will be terrific. However, I think you'll find that your level of Korean will be really helpful in Korea. As you'll be a small group, you may have more flexibility to go places you wouldn't normally be able to do on a regular tour. Sounds like to much fun!
