Two weeks in Japan

by Sim Tong

It's our anniversary and a year since our wedding and honeymoon so it was time for another big trip. See Ming's been looking forward to our new house being built so she could create a Japanese style courtyard garden and I've always been a little interested in samurai movies, anime cartoons, radio-controlled cars and sumo wrestling. Beyond that, we knew almost nothing about Japan, so we thought it was the perfect destination ...
