We met in Sounkyo Onsen (Hokkaido), in this very convivial youth hostel . Do you remember Jannick, you were very enthusiastic about your pleasant experience in Renbu -To.
Holidays are over and we are now back in Paris. We have enjoyed a lot our stay in Japan.
We will now continue our visit through your quite interesting blog.
Enjoy. Cheers.

Hello! My name is Frederic, 17 years old, half Danish, half Thai.
I'm currently on an AFS exchange program until February, in Shimane prefecture, Izumo City, Japan.

This blog was originally used to document the experiences my father and I had when we were traveling through Japan back in .. August-ish, '08.

I'll be using this blog to tell my stories as well, and please, DO scroll. There's a LOT of stuff here.
If you're new, you should probably start from the first "exchange" post, labeled "From the moon". It's way down, and might even be on another page, depending on today's date.

Hope you enjoy!

AND DO NOTE! You can write comments on my posts, so please, share your thoughts or feelings! Leaving your name too would be appreciated.

Oh, and don't forget to vote down below this.

8/11 Updated top picture, quote, added new mp3 player and songs. The new mp3 player (lower one) will feature more lively/upbeat music, but will not autoplay. It also has a volume control, for safety's sake. Do check it out!!!
29/9 Finished first part of the new post.. It's been edited here and there, so if you've already read it, you might want to read it again from the start.
28/9 New feature; mp3 player! I'll update the music about as regularly as the quote. The music will likely represent my mood more, so I'm sorry if crazy techno starts bursting out your speakers!

Welcome to TripThruJapan

Why this blog?
It is our diary - and our way of sharing the friendliness and overwhelming nature and culture of Japan with our old friends at home and with the many new friends we made on our travels.

Why this trip?
This trip was a son-father undertaking. Frederic (16) and Jannick (55) want to spend three months exploring Japan. We reached Soya Misaki (the northern-most point of Japan) on the 8th of August and landed on Hateruma-Jima, the southern-most island of Japan, on 15th of October. In between we travelled more than 3500 km with lots of adventures (and challenges :-)) - some of which are told in this blog.
