Crazy things you've done purely for the experience. [View All]

I once rode a Greyhound bus 29 hours from NY to IL just to experience what travelling cross-country by bus was like. I actually didn't think it was all that bad. Good way to see the country. But it's definitely not for anyone who likes their creature comforts, or can't sleep in an upright position.

When I lost my job a couple years ago, I had some money saved up, so that night I packed a bag and left the next day for a week long New England road trip. Visited old friends, drove around for entire days, slept on people's couches or in whatever motels I could find. Man, that was some fun.

Coming to Japan would be first by far, except for that fact that I also did it because I needed a job.
