Thanks for the great advice!

I was hoping to get 2 stay credits with HHonors, but it's looking like I should just forget it.

Golden Gai - I did read few things about it and it sounds like a paradise for photographer. OTOH, there are some, although not very strong, warnings. Which side should I believe? and if photography is not the thing to do, is it still ok to go and have a drink?

A day trip to Fuji - is it touristy, is it worth it?

I really do appreciate any and all suggestions so please don't stop.

Thanks!!! ^
