Website designer Ben Adcock jets off to Japan

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 09:34:01 +0000

One of the Caged Fish web design team, Ben, has today jetted off to the land of the rising sun, Japan. He has been taking Japanese lessons for the last 2 years in an attempt to understand the language and culture. The rest of the team are sure he’s going to get culture shock when he lands in Tokyo alone, but we all wish him a fantastic adventure and hope for his safe return. We’ve joked about how much his bail might be in Yen, but we’re sure he’ll have a fabulous time and come back with tales to tell.

Update 1:
We’ve heard, via Twitter, that Ben’s arrived safe in Tokyo and managed to get himself to his first hotel stop-off. He posted a pic of the ‘green carriage narita express’, which is in the gallery below.

Update 2:
Two weeks in and it sounds like Ben’s trip is going well, he’s now in Kyoto, though he says his brand new suitcase’s handle has broken.
