Haha!

I reckon Portugal should not be forgotten too.

[Nozawa Onsen]

I have never been to this resort, but after reading all the reviews and seeing how popular it is, looks like the trip there from Osaka might well be worth it.

[Where's your hometown?]

Hometown is Lincoln in the U.K.

Been here in Japan nearly 5 years now.

[Anyone here in the kansai region]

I'm about half way between Osaka and Kobe.

Getting really warm down here.
