When to Go: Japan has four distinct seasons; five if you include the rainy season. Winters tend to be cold, dry, and clear, while summers are exhaustingly hot and humid. The rainy season, which falls roughly between mid-June and mid-July, can be sticky and gray. July and August are only for those who can bear soaring temperatures and junglelike humidity. Spring and autumn are good times to visit. Hanami, or cherry blossom viewing, lasts for about ten days in early April. How to Get There: Tokyo has two airports: Narita Airport (www.narita-airport.jp/en), about 37 miles from Tokyo, for international flights, and the more centrally located Haneda for domestic flights. From Narita Airport Taxis to central Tokyo will cost at least 25,000 yen (about $215), unless you hire a fixed-fare taxi: 17,000 yen (about $150) to Ginza; 19,000 yen (about $165) to Shibuya or Shinjuku (plus tolls). There is a fixed-fare taxi stand at the arrival terminal. Orange-and-white Airport Limousine... See less

The Love Shine line of handbag, totes and backpack designs was founded in 1994 by Mark Seamon and Mike Gonzales in New York in the basement of a Spanish Harlem apartment building. The design duo began creating one-of-a-kind bags out of hand dyed canvas for friends and family as a sideline hobby to take their mind off their their other careers of cooking (Mark) and dancing (Mike). The response to their products was robust and they began getting special requests and orders from friends of friends and later small boutiques. Thus, a small business was born. In the beginning, many of Love Shine's designs were inspired by the travels of Seamon and Gonzales. From Mexico to Japan, they found inspiration and ideas. They brought back from Mexico beautiful rolls of brightly colored nylon mesh and oilcloth (a waterproof material decorated with images of flower or fruits that is traditionally used as table covers). They also collected images, trims, and other treasures from Japan, Greece and Spain.... See less

I just got these slippers, and I must say I love them. if you follow the chart, and pick out the correct sizing, the pair you pick for your size should fit. Mine fit perfectly. The sole is not a true slipper, it has plastic dots on the bottom. I would say these are good for lounging, reading, relaxing in bed. These are nice to keep your feet warm if your feet are always cold in bed. Also these could make nice car socks. I am going to wear these when I travel to Japan to walk around on the plane. The design is very nice also. See less

There are so many gadgets and devices on the market that are designed to make our lives easier, it can be overwhelming to choose which ones to go with. So Sanyo decided to make this a little bit easier by offering a system that is about as user friendly as it gets when it comes to GPS navigation systems. GPS systems are becoming an in-car standard, and not only because they are useful, but they are pretty cool. Many cell phones and SmartPhones are equipped with GPS capabilities, but the problem with a lot of them is that they are hard to use, and not very handy when you need them, you know, when you are behind the wheel. Sanyo’s GPS system is called Easy Street and seems to be appropriately named with its easy to use touch screen interface. To make things even easier during your travels, the Easy Street is also fully Bluetooth enabled with the ability to Auto Answer your mobile phone, and is also text messaging supported.
