Last Awakening: December 22, 1997
Japan... My favorite country! A land of rich history, beautiful shrines, quaint villages, speeding bullet trains, high tech gadgetry, and towering skyscrapers. Naturally, Japan is surely a place to be explored and experienced! As of yet, I personally have not ventured to Japan. However, I will go to Japan in the June of 1998. So until then, I must be content to enjoy Japan through books. But, in my studies I haven't even scratched the surface of Planet Japan! Luckily through the internet, I have been able to find awesome pages to give me info on current events in Japan, as well as general culture things. I'll list all of these pages that I know of for the benefit of all you Japan enthusiasts out there, as well as those who don't know much about Japan. If you know of a good link that I should add, please send it to me! I'd like for this page to be one of the best collection of Japan related links on the net! Enjoy! -Keith
