(Well, it wasn't SUMMER holidays for Aussies and Kiwies though)

Hi there,
I am back from my trip around Western part of Japan!
I had a great time there.
How was yours?

I have a question,

Does "I am back from my trip around Western part of Japan" sound right?

can I say just "West Japan"?





I visited Osaka,Hyogo(Himeji),Hiroshima(and Miyajima),Kagoshima(and Sakurajima),Kumamoto(and Mt.Aso)... for 8 days.
didn't use airplanes, but buses and trains!
You can save a lot of money, but get really tired...

but I really enjoy travell by trains, cos I can actually see the local people, I mean I can listen to how and what they are talking...

Japan is a small country, but there many kinds of accents and dialects in each area.
I am from Yokohama, so I speak basic type of Japanese with Yokohama slangs.

I liked how Kyusu Island people talk (Kagoshima and Kumamoto)
I don't know how to explain , but sounded nice to me
Actually I couldn't understand 100% what my uncle said...I met him in Kumamoto, he has a heavy accent and dialect.

I hope I can go and travell overseas again with my backpack again soon!
but now I have a job and an apartment to pay the rent and all...
no enough money no time....

oh well...

Everyone! Leave your questions about Japanese too!

Have a good day!
