Thanks John. Yeah, jetlag is killing me. Took a sleeping pill last night and woke us at 2:30...

Glad you had fun on your trip earlier this year!

Awesome

I can't wait to see more pics from your trip!

Thanks!

That was enough to cause a short beer spray onto my laptop.

I mean so do does GW, right? From Harvard no less...

Why not both? Japan for the culture and food, Germany for the beer, cars, Nürburgring and no-speed-limit portions of the Autobahn... The rest of Europe is cool too.

stylinexpat · 05-07-2016, 11:34 PM

Japan if you ask me. Great food and easy to get around.

gtron · 05-07-2016, 11:40 PM

Mind you I didn't read beyond the title but how about Europe vs Asia rather than Europe vsJapan?? Otherwise... what an off comparison!

Likely the smallest minded of threads, yea?

If corrected I'll have to vote for Asia only because I've been to Asia several times but My Europe adventures are limited for the next two years.

I will try to revisit this thread when I can properly compare.

HE'S IN JAPAN RIGHT NOW! Stop giving your recommendations!

Don't know why some of you complain like a bunch of babies. If you don't like the title of my thread then don't chime in. There was a reason why I titled it that way and I couldn't care less what you think it should have been (and don't need to explain myself).

Lucky John · 05-08-2016, 01:40 AM

Haters are going to hate. Post up lots of pics. I have always wanted to go to Japan/Asia.

PoorLurker · 05-08-2016, 01:41 AM

You should definitely go to Europe.

You would totally regret going to Japan.

In fairness, I was drunk posting last night.

wuufer001 · 05-09-2016, 02:30 AM

haven't been to both, but somehow Japan more than Europe, but will love to visit Europe also after i visit Japan. like the other person said, clean/safe/love japanese food/and friendly, from the experiences i have encountered with people from these 2 different places. i being asian, i do feel sometimes that Europeans are less friendlier, i believe and know that not all Europeans are like that but almost all Japanese i have met are friendly and nice.

Hachiko!

Digital flowers for mom.

Shibuya crossing (Tokyo Drift!!). And more sushi consumed in the last few days than we would in months back in the states.

BMW F22 · 05-09-2016, 05:18 PM

Kamakura town - Hase temple (beautiful grounds, view and has a little cabe with wall statues) and the Daibutsu (Great Buddha).

Meiji Jingu

That second to last picture looks like the view from where I used to live in Zushi.
>much better than a close view of the beaches, they were nasty. <

K_style · 05-09-2016, 05:35 PM

If you never been to Japan, then Japan.

djpeetur · 05-09-2016, 05:48 PM

Japan, Food and shopping is out of this world. I like streetwear BTW, bought a $750 jacket and 2 jeans for $800, didnt even know how much it was until my card clear. But it was totally worth it. Plus im lo carb eater, japan fits me perfect. Im sure Europe is nice, but TOKYO FTW!

that is awesome that you used to live there. I saw Zushi on the map - one or two stops from Kamakura station (?). It's good that we didn't walk down to the beach. Brought our swimming clothes but the weather didn't cooperate. Looks like we didn't miss much. Haha
