I, Joseph Henry Gauci-Seddon, have created this blog as an online journal of my journey to Osaka, Japan. My journey began early on in my life as my parents took me to Japanese restaurants instead of macca of kfc. in addition Kimonos and Japanese furniture was scattered around our home. From an early age Japanese culture was bread into my blood. The deal was sealed when I saw Lost in Translation and my final decision defiantly had nothing to do with my love of Japanese women. As year 12 exams grew closer my desire to leave Australia burn stronger and stronger. I had fully disregarded uni as an option straight out of school. With no prior knowledge of the Japanese language I began teaching myself Hiragana imediately after yr 12 exams but found the concept of a completely new alphabet quite dificult. Since begining learning I have planned and planned and sketched up itineries but still have little idea as to how my time will be spent in Osaka. I intend to travel for roughly a month upon arrive begining with a journey riding from Osaka to Tokyo. On arrival back in Osaka I plan to stay in a hostel and gather a small group of private students whom i shall tutor in english. Eventually i hope to find my own apartment and work in a bar and spend around 8 months experiencing the culture Japan has to offer. On this blog I shall post images, videos and reports all to do with my trip in Japan which will begin in early to mid march. I hope you all follow my journey and enjoy my retelling of my experiences.
