I don't want to put a jinx on it, but we're oh so close on making the World Cup. Now, I don't know about anyone else here, but I've been eyeing a trip to 2010 South Africa for awhile now. For the Socceroos, the Green and Gold army packages have emerged during this week so I was wondering if there was anything similar on the Japanese side?
It being Japan I'm sure any packages will be relatively more expensive than from Western countries. I'd love to go but honestly I'm not all too confident in the security situation. If I spent the money on a trip to Istanbul to see Fenehrbace, I'd probably be less likely to be mugged or killed. And that's saying a lot.
Living expenses in South Africa are lower than Japan. So you shouldn't be worried about money. Over there people speak english and it is much safer than Japan. So, don't worry about it.
