Off to Tokyo!

Well it's been such a busy month of April that I hardly had any time to spend actually planning this 4-day getaway to Tokyo. But armed with a plane ticket, hotel booking and the always trusty Lonely Planet guide book, I will depart tomorrow for the economically booming, technologically dizzying, population-ly overflowing, seismically active Land of the Rising Sun.

In light of this, did you know that....

There are about 200 volcanoes in Japan, 40 of which are active

Japanese have the highest life expectancy in the world, about 81-82 years

The biggest exporter of frog's legs in the world is Japan

The oldest man to reach the summit of Mount Everest was Japanese

Japan's population is currently just over 127 million.

Metropolitan Tokyo has a population of approximately 12.7 million (when you include surrounding areas it's closer to 32,000,000!).

Now off to Japan!
