Nipponster

Just added the Nipponster - Japan enthusiasts search engine search box to the site. It's basically google for Japanese web sites. Under the search box is a recent searches cloud for something random if your bored. They have a blog which has loads of interesting info about their site, links, searches ect. Also worth a donwload is their own tool bar, which has loads of cool links pre-installed such as live streaming tv and radio, blogs, lessons an loads of other Japanese related stuff. So check out Nipponster it's perfect for Japanese freaks and geeks!

Japanhotel.net

Ok I've added a great link to the Useful Travel Links menu on the side it's for japanhotel.net. This is one of the best hotel booking sites for Japan. It's run just for Japanese hotels only. They have a great range of hotels to suit any budget, especially for those on a tight budget or would rather spend money on other things like travelling and eating/drinking. I've used them 3 times now in my travels around Japan and found them very reliable. The information about the hotels is concise and very easy to follow with loads of pics so you know what you are paying for. Best of all there are maps you can print out that show you how to get to each hotel. Seriously give them a try.

New Beginings

Ok....... my original idea for this site did not work out as planned. Blogger still has some limitations and I had some big expectations. So for now I'll post various interesting things I find about the net (about Japan) and post them on this blog. I plan to add some new links every week so keep coming back as there will be something new to ckeck out each time.

Here is something that has been cracking me up a bit lately, Hard Gay (check out videos below). I guess he is in Japan like what Sacha Baron Cohen who plays Borat is to the west. He's not really gay but just likes getting people out of their comfort zones. You'll either love it or hate it, the follwing clips have subtitles.
