I'll be in Japan for the upcoming ICANN meeting, so I decided that I'd take advantage of that trip to have a holiday. I've never been to Japan and I've no idea when I'll get back there, so it seemed like a good idea. As with my trip to Peru last year I chose to use the guys at Jacada Travel to organise it for me. I contacted them about the trip months ago and finalised it … [Read more...] about Heading to Japan for a Holiday
