Planning: Okinawa, Korea

The planning of our Trip goes on and on, as you see on the calendar on the bottom of the Blog! Well, it's high time to do so, because we're already at the point where the time to wait for Japan (which is highly visible on the counter above :-)) is shorter than the time we actually spend abroad!!! Crazy ey... ^^ But planning is actually progressing quite well.
We have decided to spend one week on the island of Okinawa in the southwest of Japan. This is supposedly one of the most beautiful places in the whole country. At least, that's what all our Japanese friends say (They're always swarming if you ask anything about Okinawa ;-)). Talking about friends: I'd like to say thank you to everybody who helped us planning the whole thing! Without you guys from Japan and Korea, that would all have been much more difficult! I'm looking forward to see you all soon! :-)
After one week of paradise in Okinawa, we'll take the flight not back to Tokyo, but to Fukuoka. The latter is one of the Japanese Cities which have a ferry connection to Busan, South Korea. And that's where we're heading to straight after scuba-diving and snorkeling around the coral reefs.
From Busan there is a direct highspeed train to Seoul, according to the internet it's similar to the TGV in France. We'll spend two days in the capital and then leave for Chuncheon to meet my friend June. Going down south the east coast of South Korea, we'll come back to Busan. But before taking the ferry to return to Japan, we'll make a side trip to Jeju-Do. Now this Island is supposed to be the most beautiful place in South Korea. I'm sure we'll be able to compare South Korea and Japan after that, by comparing the most beautiful spots!
What's then coming in Japan is still being planned, but the last day in Japan we have the pleasure to meet Hitomi and Shota, who will be guiding us to the Airport in Osaka where we finally leave the country. Thank you in advance, that will be awesome! :-)
