After reading this post on Cherry Blossom Adventures about how many prefectures in Japan you had been to, I thought I should borrow the idea and post too, since it does involve two of my very favourite things:
1) travel and
2) lists!!
But while doing this, I realised that I have forgotten a lot of information, like place names/dates etc for most of the places. I really should write this down before I forget for ever, right!? Gotta go back and look through photos to work that one out - sounds like a new project for a rainy day! I also realised that I had been to one more pref than I had thought, so my total so far is 32/47....only 15 more to go!
