Ok so if you are not aware..I must get to Tokyo. I have been wanting to go there for a long time. I think that it all started with going to Seoul when I was 13. This has been an obsession since then. I have finally decided that I am going no matter what!
Well that is easier said then done...very expensive. I don't just want to go there for a week, we are talking a couple of monthes or longer depends on how much I fall in love with this city.
Now I know what some of my friends are thinking..oh my god, look at the size of that city. Believe me I love the hustle and bustle, the constant flow of everything around me. I would feel so at home there. I don't know what the pull is for me, there are many things, I just know I fell in love with Asian culture when I was over there. I want to experience everything Tokyo has to offer. Especially the fact that they have a bumpin club scene.
So to start off my Send Laura To Tokyo fund..I will be saving all of my tips in a jar, it really adds up after a month. This money will only be used to pay for my trip and stay in Japan. So, if you are reading this and you know me or where I work, just know that your tips will help send me on my dream trip. That's just a friendly hint to all my customers.
So this is the plan...I came up with it on my day off...I will keep everyone updated on the status of saving for the trip and when I finally am able to get my ticket and all the steps along the way. Now I don't have that much saved yet, but just wait..It will all start to add up.
If anyone out there has any helpful hints, tips, travel advice, or just wants to wish me good luck please post. I would love to hear from all of you.

When you get to Japan, you should buy me something really really weird and Asian, and then give it to me when/if you come back. Good luck. I'll get there one day myself.

My stepmother is going back to her hometown in China next month to visit for three weeks. She always brings us cool stuff back, so I'm excited. She keeps mentioning that she wants to take us with her, which would be so awesome. We would get to do so much more than just regular tourist activities since she is a native of the area and nobody would try to scam us when buying souvenirs. But, I HATE flying, and that's a long time in an airplane!
A couple tips:
1) Never accept the first offer.
2) Don't drink the water.
Well... they may not apply in Tokyo, but they certainly work here in Nebraska.
I'll give you a more valuable tip the next time I drop by to get some coffee.
