One day, when I was jaded with studies, I sat daydreaming about all the things I will do when I go to Japan next. The result was the following list:

1. Karaoke to my heart’s desire.
2. Visit Nikko and Hakone.
3. Attend a Sumo match.
4. Watch a Kabuki performance.
5. See cosu-play at Harajuku.
6. Climb Mt. Fuji to the top.
7. Relax at an open air onsen.
8. Do purikura.
9. Eat vegetarian sushi at a kaiten-zushi place. (Kappa Maki!!)
10. Visit Asakusa and drop 100yen at Senso-ji.
11. Take a walk around Inokashira Park.
12. Go to Tokyo Disneyland.
13. Play Taiko Drums at a game center.
14. See Sapporo Snow Festival.
15. Try new Starbucks flavours.
16. Visit Ueno Zoological gardens and the various Museums in Ueno.
17. Eat ice-cream mochi!
18. Buy a Daruma.
19. Call up all my friends in Okinawa and surprise them!
