Do you want to travel to Japan?

I want to go to Japan later this year — my friends say it’s excellent. And I like Tokyo girls — I’m a simple person. I saw the Tokyo episode of Jackass and it was really cool.

I would like to go to Japan to be photographed standing stiffly in front of various monuments. I also like Japanese food and music.

I live in Korea so it’s easy to go to Japan. I traveled there before, but only for five days, and I feel like I only scratched the surface.

I’ve going snowboarding in Hokkaido in February. Japanese people I met in New Zealand say Hokkaido is the only place you can go off-piste and not get arrested.

I’d love to travel there. The thing that stops me is that it’s too expensive. The place looks beautiful, especially Mt. Fuji. At some point I’ll definitely go.

I’m quite curious about Japanese culture, the infrastructure and buildings. I want to fight there. Muay Thai boxing is popular in Japan, so I could be a star.
