”Fly to Japan! Project” has (sadly) not been approved! Japan is fighting with a tight budget for 2012 and the predictions for tourists afflux to the country are anyway already getting better, so the proposal to grant some 10.000 free flights to selected requestants was not approved as a governmental draft budget.

Oh well, it was too good to be true, wasn’t it?

This means my plan to ask a free ticket and visit Hokkaido to finally see the far north of Japan meets a sudden stop. This summer I’ll go to Scotland with a few good old friends then!
Always wanted to visit Alba and one of these friends actually asked me to join them as soon as I got back from Tokyo last sunday.

For my friends in Japan, I’ll try to save some holidays to get the chance to come between october and november this year, maybe for the 紅葉 (momiji)… only for a week, but it’ll be enough.
