I'm hitchhiking around the world, learning bits of the languages on the road as needed. At the start I had a trip in Japan from Shimonoseki -> Osaka -> Kyoto -> Yamagata up the west coast -> Tokyo down the east coast -> Shimonoseki.

I'm now in Korea where I come across a bit of Japanese language and often compare it to Korean.
