Why Japan It Up? - find out in this exclusive interview
On February 14, 2008 in Interviews
Today, after a bit of a delay, we are ready to rock it up. No? Shake it up? I guess not. Japan ItUp? That’s the one!
I proudly present to you the first part of our little chat with Smoother of JapanItUp.com.
DailyJ: What motivated you to start JapanItUp?
Smoother: At first I was writing down experiences to reflect on the past, then I thought about creating a blog to share with family and friends. Then I started thinking about how I felt before and after heading to Japan. Before coming to Japan I didn’t know what it was really like. I couldn’t find all of the info I needed all in one place and I didn’t know any Americans that have been to Japan. Japan it UP! was then launched.
I know that many of the bloggers reading have started their sites for similar reasons. I tip my hat to you J-bloggers, keep up the good (and fun) work.
Join us again here tomorrow (or subscribe via RSS) to hear the unique story of how Smoother made the Japan leap and what he loves about Japan.
And be sure to visit JapanItUp and say hello.
To all a great day!

I know! That looks like it was a lot of fun too. Have you ever been snow boarding? I’ve skied a few times and it was great but I’ve never been snowboarding (I’d probably fall flat on my face
)
Man am I late on some follow up comments on this. I’m glad you like the pictures! The real good pictures were taken with a Kodak Easyshare V570. It’s a 5mp Panoramic camera which belongs to a friend of mine. And snowboarding is awesome. In the beginning it’s you vs. The Earth and can get frustrating. When I moved to Japan I brought my snowboard with me.

Did you see my post about the photo contest on Babibubebo.com?
Evan is looking for great Japan photos and it sounds like you are into photography so I thought I’d mention it
