Our route so far in Japan - Tokyo (Shinjuku,
Shibuya, Roppongi), Kobe, Osaka, Koyasan, Nara. 
Japan is a economic powerhouse
globally. 
The railway system in Japan is complex and
systematic. It’s unbelievable. 
7-Eleven, Lawson, Family Mart - the convenient store culture is
awesome.
The women all love umbrellas no matter what the
weather. 
Vending machines in Japan are everywhere!
I used Meetup.com to connect with eight local
business people to discuss ideas and projects that we are working
to build.
Check out Instagram of the guy bending over
backward to take Nikki’s photo. 
On Saturday night, I ended up going to a bar to grab a drink
(Nikki headed home) and, WOW, did I have a blast with a
bunch of locals. 
The baseball game was out of this world. Check this
video where the fans all blew up balloons then let them
off at the same time. 
Okunoin Cemetery is the largest cemetery in
Japan. 
Koyasan is full of beautiful Buddhist
temples
The local relationship with the tiny deer in
Nara are a bit controversial as you can tell with Nikki’s
passion. Though they are beautiful. 
We will update on the final 3 weeks in an upcoming podcast.

backpack.
