Experience Japanese Customer Care Before Your Arrival

Wed, 6 Jun 2001 14:59:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - My first encounter with All Nippon Airways happened when I took a position teaching English in Japan, for a program sponsored by the Japanese government. Among the many perks of this job was the complimentary Business Class flight to Tokyo. Lovely! I had...

Simply ZonePerfect!

Tue, 5 Jun 2001 20:44:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - I recently spent a year in Japan... seeing the sights, teaching English, and eating lots and lots of cookies. It may be a little known fact, but the Japanese make delicious and addictive snacks! So when I returned home to America, I was...well.....

The Natural Look... truly

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 21:01:17 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - Origins eye shadow does not thrill me. When strolling blissfully through the cosmetics section of a department store, I may give Origins a brief pause to glance through their lipsticks and skincare lines, but I inevitably go elsewhere for eye make-up...

Yamaguchi: Rich With History and Rural Charm

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 22:18:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - Travel books on Japan often skip right over Yamaguchi prefecture, and that's really a shame. While it may not be a major tourist destination, this area of Japan, located at the southwestern tip of the main island, is not without its charms, and I believe...

Charming and Elegant

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - My art history professor's hint for anyone visiting Paris was "Everything in the Louvre reproduces very well on slides,h implying that we shouldnft focus all our attention on it, and instead make sure to visit the smaller museums of France's...

Decent, but not Perfect

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 11:20:11 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - After taking a two-week tour through some of Japan's most famous places, I have concluded that the writers of the Frommers' Guide to Japan (4th edition) are a little off their rocker. I don't to say that the book is all bad. Quite the contrary- in many...

Bathing in Beppu

Thu, 13 Apr 2000 11:19:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - Beppu gets an unfairly bad reputation from the guidebooks. Lonely Planet and Frommers both paint a rather negative picture of this famous hot spring city as being too glitzy, overly commercial, and crowded- like the Las Vegas of onsen...

Go Greek at UCI!

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 03:27:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - Joining a sorority was without a doubt the most positive experience in my time at UCI. The Greek system isn't the only option if you want to have a healthy social life, but it certainly is a good one. I joined in my third year, meaning that I survived...

Step Back into History: Bath

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 09:08:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - If you dream of the England you've seen in storybooks and movies, Bath is for you. Many people think of this small city as merely a day trip from London, but I would recommend setting aside a few days to fully enjoy it at a leisurely pace. There is...

imood: Confessions of an imood convert

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 05:26:56 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - When I first saw the ubiquitous little yellow smiley staring out at me from the screen of a friend's web page, accompanied by an adjective describing their current emotion,I couldn't help but groan. My first thought was, "Oh goody, just what the net...

Osaka: A Taste of Modern Japan

Thu, 13 Jan 2000 02:44:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Kawaii - Don't come to Osaka for history and culture. Come for good food, trendy shopping, friendly people, and the experience of losing yourself amongst the towering skyscrapers in one of Japan's liveliest cities. Enjoy the crowds, enjoy the noise. Don't look...
