Kristine's Adventures in Japan
In and around Japan
I'm very excited to have the opportunity to visit Japan! Although I'm officially here for business, I will mix it up with a little pleasure, sight-seeing & taking a ton of pictures. Stay tuned for my blog entries sharing my adventures with you. Please keep in mind, I am not literary genius (not sure I even spelled genius correctly)! This is my 1st travel blog so hang in there with me while I fumble through the next 6 days.
