What was initially supposed to be a 3-man posse was abruptly culled to a 2-man party. Due to unfortunate events it would have to be left to the dynamic duo to explore and absorb Japan in the summertime. The prerequisites of such a journey are as follows:

• Passport, check.
• Credit card, check.
• Lack of plans, check.
• Minimal grasp of the Japanese language, check.
• Desperate need for holiday, check.
