Currently I'm completely enthralled by my new Rough Guide<\/a> for Japan. I'm planning on going there this October, maybe with my brother (who's a big Japan fan), but definitely at least part of the time alone. <\/p>\n

My dream would be to spend four weeks traveling the country and one week or so on a stop-over somewhere else in Asia, maybe Bangkok or Singapur. The problem is money – according to XE.com<\/a>, 1000 yen are a bit over 11 Swiss francs at the moment, which would make it very expensive. I'm not sure yet I can afford it, actually, since even the cheapest youth hostel is about 3000JPY\/night. We'll see, I guess.<\/p>\n

But I thought I'd keep track of my 'must-see' destinations here, just so I get an idea how much time is realistic… This will be edited\/updated as I learn more. <\/p>\n
