My Very First Visit to Japan
Of all the countries I have traveled to, Japan is the one I have visited the most number of times. My very first visit took place in December 2004 with Marc. By 2010, I had visited it a total of eight times. There was actually a year when I visited it three times. It was during this period when I actually, shall we say, became "Japan Crazy" as one friend of mine put it.
