In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, I am often asked about the destinations I have been to. I try to give a good opinion on those places and offer some helpful advice. Here then, are my top suggestions for sites to take in during your holiday in Japan.Made up of four major islands and surrounded by more than 4,000 smaller islands Japan has coastlines with varied scenery. The country also offers imposing mountains, which are very often volcanic and amazing valleys that encompass the onlooker with the magical world of nature. Being covered with over 70% of forest and mountains makes it unsuitable for any inhabitants. That however does not alter the fact that Japan is the thirtieth most densely populated country in the world. With many hot springs in t

Bryan Hoch/MLB.Com:Kei Igawa was hit hard and often in his first start of the season, making an early exit as the Yankees dropped a 6-5 decision to the Tigers at Comerica Park on Friday in the opener of a seven-game road trip for New York. Recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to start in place of demoted righty Ian Kennedy, the 28-year-old left-hander continued his struggles at the big league level, recording just two swinging strikes among the 64 pitches he threw over three-plus innings. First things first. Fire the scout that thought it would be a wonderful decision to bring Kei Igawa to New York instead of Matsuzaka.Second, now we all can clearly understand what was pissing Ian Kennedy off. I mean, I guess you really had no choice but to demote him but if I was being demoted

Meeting members of the opposite sex in Japan is usually not a complicated process, as more often than not the nature of the job, whether it be a businessman or English instructor, will bring you into contact with Japanese in the workplace who would like to get to know you better outside of the office or school.

In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One World Tours Limited, I am often asked all kinds of travel questions. I personally believe that when visiting a different country that you should be respectful of your hosts beliefs and customs. So with that in mind I have put together some useful tips and basic rules that should be observed when visiting Japan. By far the best and most efficient way to travel is by train using the Japan Rail Travel Pass for foreigners. You will need to buy an exchange order before entering Japan as you can not buy it when you are there and travel agencies in your area will be able to tell you where you can get hold of one.You have to be eligible for the pass so if you are visiting Japan for temporary sightseeing or are a Japanese national who lives pe

Sometime between 1867 and 1873, an American professor, Horace Williams, at what is now Tokyo University, is credited with introducing baseball to the country of Japan. Williams came to Japan to teach English and American History, but his sports interest is what has impacted Japan the most. Fellow American Albert Bates, teaching at Kaitaku University, organized the first baseball game in Japan. The first Japanese baseball club, the Shinbashi Athletic Club Athletics, was organized in 1878 by a former U.S. student who was a fan of the Boston Red Sox. By 1896, the skill of the still amateur players was demonstrated during the first international baseball game played between Ichiko team from Tokyo's First High School and an American team organized at the Yokohama Country and Athletic Club.

Driving in Japan legally has recently afforded new challenges to foreigners from China, Brazil and the United States. Released in November 2002 and updated in February 2003, Traffic Act Article 107-2, has begun to create many problems for foreigners. Until June 2002, Foreigners driving in Japan (who held a valid drivers license from their home country) could apply for an international driving permit (IDP) and drive in Japan permanently. Since that time however, IDPs are only valid for one year. If a foreigner stays in Japan for more than one year and decides to reapply for an IDP, they would have to leave Japan for at least 90 days in order for the IDP to be legal upon their return. Those visiting Japan for a short time, of course IDPs are the way to go. They are quite cheap (around $10

I read an interesting article in a local newspaper recently about a Japanese record shop and production company owner from Osaka, Japan who has been traveling to Jamaica for the past 18 years to find and buy vintage Jamaican music. It's interesting because there are so many things we here in Jamaica fail to appreciate and promote properly. Instead we now have a mostly crappy local local music scene and a very bad image throughout the world. Article excerpts When his friend called Carpenter came to Jamaica and brought back some vintage music he recalls: "Me shocked, so I save some money and come to Jamaica to buy some good, original tune." Hayashi, who had been a bass player in a reggae band, said he was tired of playing because the artistes always wanted the same rhythm, "like a Sleng Te
