In Love with Japan - www.1bm.me.uk/books

Mike and Naoko found romance through the Internet with Naoko first visiting Mike in England. This video illustrates a book that concentrates on two months when Mike visited Naoko in Japan The book is jointly authored by Mike and Naoko visited, and is written as a diary with Mike writing first and Naoko writing her views based upon his entries and adding her Japanese slant.

The places visited included the ancient capitals Kyoto and Nara, the nuclear-bombed cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the hot spring towns of Beppu and Yufuin, and Mount Aso, the world's largest caldera. There were some fascinating experiences including an earthquake of force 7, coach tours with all the passengers being Japanese, attending Naoko's daughter's degree award (a remarkable experience seeing the women students all dressed in kimonos), sleeping in a freezing temple, indulging in numerous hot spring baths, visits to endless temples and shrines, driving on empty motorways, almost causing an international incident in the swimming baths, and becoming five year-old Momoko's toy monster.

I LOVE JAPAN!! and i am going there in summer it will be so COOL!!!!!!

[GASBAGSMike]

I hope you enjoy your trip. I have now been 4 times for a month over the last 6 years to visit Naoko. I really enjoyed the trips and the food - though I couldn't eat Natto - fermented soya bean - very slimy! Naoko became my wife on December 6th last year. She arrived back tonight in the UK after a month in Japan.
