japan, ..osaka?
anyone been to japan? im planning on goin there this summer.. most likely osaka since its close to the international airport.
i was just wondering what was fun/interesting to do in osaka or anywhere in japan? any ideas? im trying to plan ahead unlike my friend who went- he basically walked around the hotel area, played arcade games, went shopping, ate ramen, and came back. i know japans freakin expensive~ tryna spend around 2k there..excluding plane tickets. any ideas?

oh if you plan on traveling alot on the ground, try and get an all japan rail pass from a travel agent. they cost about 270ish. alot of shinkansen travel is not cheap, so the pass might save you money

Kyoto has a bunch of temples.
But frankly I didn't think castls and temples were too fun.
Watch the landing at Kanasai International! That's a bad *** airport

That's a pretty big question you're asking there, considering Japan is a whole country. What's there to see in the USA? Plenty of answers...
Might want to start here:

Japan is in the middle of a big foreign-tourism push so I think there should be some good information on hotels and deals on there. Good luck planning your trip...

find a nicely modded car of choice, i.e.: skyline...
flash some american money. ask driver to let you drive it around.
drive car around. get out of car. rejoice. then come back and tell us about it.
