Japan

[chezmax]

Oh dear. I leave for Japan a week from today.

I'm totally not ready.

Well, I have a plane ticket, and a rail ticket, and I know where my passport is.

Things I need to remember to do:
Call Visa/My Bank. Tell them I'll be in a different country, and not to disable my card when charges start showing up from really weird place. Done
Pack.
Make a list of people who want postcards (inform me if you want a postcard: my first name which is at alleged networks... even if you think I have your address, send me an email so it'll be on the list)
Check my power adapters to see if they're 100V compatible.
Look for my travel insurance information and any cards I may need to carry.

Erm... I'm sure I'm forgetting important things.... Any ideas?

Osaka! In the greater Osaka-Kyoto-Kobe region, the trains will all be also in English. Everything else won't be, in particular, restaurant menus.

That said, eat some Takoyaki and some Okonomiyaki. Takoyaki is breaded octopus balls and you get them in stands on the streets/in malls. Okonomiyaki is a pancakeish thing and you get it at restaurants.

So, how do I know what the restaurants are serving? :)
