Yikes, about $1500 round-trip for Osaka anytime I'll be able to actually go...
I'm really interested in visiting Japan, though, and airfare to Tokyo is about $800 (how far from there are you?), but it'll take a few months at least to get the scratch together while finishing up school. Think we might be able to work something out later on? I have not done any world traveling and if I don't do it now, when will I be able to?
