orion82698 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I cannot help you, but I just wanted to say "LUCKY" I want to go to Japan! I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Po Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 $680 round trip. Not a bad price.This will be my first time to Japan. I've been to China twice and plan on getting to Taiwan sometime inthe future.Trying to cram a few words and some cultural differrences. Guess I need to hit a Japanese restaurant around here before I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orion82698 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 If you don't mind me asking, what's the purpose of the trip? Business, or pleasure? I don't have to be the best, just better than you!Working towards 11% BF and a Six pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Po Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Both, but then sometimes business IS pleasure.Besides, I make it a point to find pleasure wherever I travel. Actually I'll be teaching a Shaolin stick set and Yang Taiji 24 Form at a friend's school, then sightseeing and partying the other 5 days. I was hoping to find some interesting training while there but that's not panning out.We'll be celebrating a friends birthday while there so I expect at least one sake overload but that will be after the seminars are over and 2 days before the return flight.

JimmyNewton Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 have fun and be careful.sounds like a blast "The wise and successsful will always be met with violent opposition by mediocre minds." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Po Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Unfortunately I'll only be there a week but it will be fun. The only problem will be when it's time to leave.If all goes well with his school we might make it a yearly event. I still get a kick out of the idea of an American teaching Chinese martial arts in Japan but it seems to be working out for him.So far I've got a few of the basics down like - Biiru o ippon kudasai.

24fightingchickens Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Can someone tell me how to say a few words in Japanese?InhaleExhalePostureFollow meRelaxPracticeThanks in advance. One week to go and I'll be in Kobe, Japan.I did karate for two years in Japan, and I never heard anyone say exhale or inhale the entire time. I just realized that I studied karate there all that time and never even heard or learned these words!Posture = kamaekataFollow me= Japanese would not say this. They tend to say "Kochira no hou e" which means "This way..."Relax=yawarakaku shite (make soft)Practice=renshu shimasu (v) keiko (n) 24FightingChickenshttp://www.24fightingchickens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
