No More 10,000 Free Tickets to Japan5

We mentioned back in October that the Japanese government would offer 10,000 free tickets to foreigners who want to travel to Japan. However, we also mentioned in the newsletter that project is still under “examination for government budgetary approval and is at this moment undecided”. Two months later, now, the plan was killed. The Japan Tourism Agency made an announcement on their official website that the project was not approved as a governmental draft budget of FY 2012.

Trip in Washington D.C., New York and Boston6

Just came back from the trip in the east coast of the United States, feeling pretty tired. Have been poking around the street at midnight and waiting for taxi in Bronx, NYC for an hour which makes me even worn out. Everything else seemed fine and the trip outweighs my expectation. We arrived at Washington D.C. at midnight and spent one day in the city. Several spots had been visited including the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Capital Hill and other government facilities. We had compress schedule and had to move fast from spot to spot. Luckily, the city is not as large as I used to think and we were able to finish the tour in one day.

Trip to Washington DC, New York and Boston4

Am now waiting at the lobby of the airport for the late flight to Washington DC. Pretty upset by the reschedule of the flight and it costs me waiting at the airport for the coming six hours. The trip lasts about five days. The first stop will be Washington DC, and then I will spend the next two days in New York, finally take the flight back to Ohio from Boston. Guess tons of value experiences will be earned.
