Have you ever heard of Jean-Claude Van Damme? The guy that in the ninetees had so many action movies like you have pair of socks? Ok, you won’t have so many pair of socks. He was the cool fighter that helped the good looking woman, or the poor guy that lost everything or one of those typical stories that makes us think: yeah! beat that bad guy! And Steven Seagal? The martial arts god that would break so many legs and arms of his enemies in each of his movies that we always wanted to try that by ourselves but thought it might hurt? That was the moment we learnt that human body has 200 bones! Did you know they are both Japanese!??

Time of my life it was my biggest dream to visit Japan one day and I never thought I would be flying to Japan twice within six months and spend almost five weeks there. These days, flying to Japan seems not only much more realistic, but The choice to make. So, how did I get there?

If you are able to spend some time in Japan in spring, like I did, try to be there end of march or even better beginning of April. Depending on which part of this country you want to see, the cherry blossom will be a bit sooner or later. It’s a great time to welcome the warmer part of the year outside and have a picnic at the park.
