----------------------------------- Kaj Mon Jul 31, 2006 12:01 am ----------------------------------- Well then, let me introduce myself as well. My name is Kaj, I'm Dutch, living in the Netherlands and Japan-fan to the bone since I was seven or so. Been in Japan three times now as my bank account permitted, fourth visit is due in five days. Starting out in Sapporo, I hope to see some more interesting onsen this time, as my efforts failed miserably the last time I was there. As for the unbeaten tracks; I'm kind of a mixed bag on that; if I were to have a decent amount of money, I would love to try and hike for a month or two across Japan. :)
