“I enjoyed Japan” would be an understatement but perhaps the closest to describe how I felt. Come on! I experienced snow in Mt. Gozaisho!
My trip to Japan is my first travel this year. I'd say it boosted my travel momentum to continue all the way through this year's journey list.
I just came back to Manila from my 3-day Davao trip and my friends can't help but ask where do I go next?
But I am thinking, it would be nicer to travel again with my Japanese friends here in the Philippines. I swore I would accommodate them if they happen to visit my country. After all they were too generous to give me action-packed weekends and my fill of feasts on special holidays.

These are my Japanese friends from Mie. Took this photo on the Valentines Day. They are so kind. I need to show them utmost kindness here |
In Nagoya, we (Reiko and I) talked to an agency that offers English Study Program abroad...
I got ecstatic. Possibly due to the fact that I'm gonna see them again, and this time I'd be able to return the favor, you know show them around, share Filipino culture and stuff - or because Ethan (my 3 year old son) is taking a plane with me (for the first time) to meet Reiko's family...
Very much the latter!

Typical Japanese house in Yao City |
My search led me to this Airbnb listing: Hassarams Courtyard

Reiko will love this simple queen-sized bed! |
These will be good for the kiddos! |
Having that said, with a normal hotel booking site, it's a little tedious to search for an entire house for rent. Options are very limited (unless of course you have all the money in the world).
Most of the time average hotels lack bath tub (OK I have this serious thing for bath tubs) or kitchen and mind you, the kitchen plays an important role in my goal to share Filipino culture.
I intend to cook traditional Filipino foods for my foreign friends and begin a good conversation about my country's history and people.
Chicken Adobo with Japanese ingredients :) I cooked this for the family one fine dinner in Mie :) |
