There isn’t a real post today since I was working on creating a compilation page for all my posts from my Japan trip this past summer. You’ll notice a link at the top right of the page that says Japan 2008 (or right here if you can’t…). I took a bit of a break from writing about my trip but there’s still a bit to be done so there will be updates in the future. In case you weren’t following my blog this summer, that link will show just about all the awesome I experienced in Japan.
Oh, what the hell…I’ll just copy and paste the whole thing here too.

I spent the better part of the summer of 2008 in Japan, living in a small apartment right outside of Shibuya. For almost three months, I tried some of the best the country had to offer…great food, meeting interesting people, and generally living life in a country so different from Canada.
There’s still quite a bit I haven’t written about and pictures I haven’t posted from this summer so I will update this page as new posts are produced.
