I was just sitting at the Frankfurt airport on my way to Bali when I opened the invitation to travel to China a few weeks later in my e-mail inbox. To China? Wow, although I already had a lot of ideas about China, I honestly didn't know exactly what to expect there.
Before my trip to Japan, I was particularly excited about a special topic: FOOD! I already had a first impression of what to expect from the numerous books that I have read, but also from various films and animes. Because yes, Japanese food is so much more than sushi.
Most of us associate a trip to Japan with far-off places, fascinating culture, the latest technology, but also with high prices and farsighted and timely planning. Travel to Japan is often already offered as an organized package tour, but the relatively high prices tend to deter many, especially younger people.
