How do you take a crap in Japan? I often felt lost, just like in this video:
And now for a few of my pictures from Japan:
We rode the Su Zhou Hao ferry for two days from Shanghai to Osaka.
First stop: Osaka, a foodie's paradise.
We found this heron at the Ritsurin gardens in Takamatsu.
One day we stumbled upon the Old Konpira, the oldest kabuki theater in Japan.
We saw plenty of rice fields while riding across Shikoku Island.
Many of the islands were connected by bridges...
…And other islands had an amazing ferry network connecting them.
Miyamoto the mask maker invited us to stay in his house one night.
Our trip would not be complete without a visit to the Great Torii on Miyajima Island.
Sento (public baths) and Onsen (hot springs) were a big part of our trip. Staying clean and relaxing our aching muscles proved easy, even while bicycle touring.
We also visited many temples. This one featured the oldest Buddha statue in Japan, created in 609 AD.
And of course, the we experienced peak fall colors season. The maple trees had a wild array of yellows, oranges and reds.

This book picks up shortly after Book 1 left off (in case you missed Book 1, you can find it here).
Here's the synopsis:
Dan Perry is living his dream. He quit his job, sold his stuff and bought a one-way ticket for Peru. He spent the next ten months traveling around South America, before flying home to attend his brother's wedding. But he's not ready to settle down. He's got a lot more traveling left to do.
While he's at home, Dan buys a tent, a small stove and two pots. Together with the rest of his camping gear and camera equipment, he's ready for any adventure that comes his way. Or so he thinks.
Shortly after returning to South America, Dan learns the hard way that it's not a good idea to cook using diesel. He's a little older, not much wiser.
Dan later reunites with his Australian friend Craig. Together, they take a 1000-mile boat ride down the Amazon River, climb a tabletop mountain, hang out with Guyanese gold miners, trek to the highest single-drop waterfall in the world and build a raft out of bamboo. Dan gets deep into his adventure when he spends a month walking a puma through the Bolivian jungle. Afterward, he returns to the Andes for one of the biggest challenges of his life.
1000 Days Between Part 2 is the continued adventure of a man who left his high-paying job to embark on the adventure of a lifetime. When will he stop traveling? Only time will tell.
