Just over fifteen months ago on January 18th, 2010 I announced a plan that would see me starting to take some important steps that would allow me to visit Japan in the Summer of 2011. I named the plan Operation Visit Japan and it focused on the financial challenge visiting Japan is for someone like me....

One full year has passed since the first report drawn up on my blog detailing my plans to visit Japan.

In this the 13th Operation Visit Japan monthly report...

In the blink of an eye the year 2010 has passed us by, I think it has been a fairly productive year for me personally but as it relates to my blog it has been excellent. Operation Visit Japan was started in January 2010 as one of my new years resolutions and twelve months later I am well on course to...

Another month is coming to an end and it’s time for the monthly report on how things are going for Operation Visit Japan. It has now been six months since the operation has commenced and I cannot be more satisfied with how things have been progressing. I got a real confidence boast this month when...

Five months into Operation Visit Japan and my excitement only grows each month. I need to relax because my head might explode from all the blood rushing to it and I might just try one of those celebratory somersaults my mind is tempting me to do and end up spending a few nights in a hospital –...

Writing the monthly report post for Operation Visit Japan is easily one of my favorite tasks each month. Still over a year away from being reality but plans are progressing much better than estimated as I quickly cover the 3 main expenses namely plane tickets, accommodation and a railpass for a 3-4...
