About This Item

Ready for Japan

This pin is a good link between Japan and Norway. It was issued in the Olympics winter games in Lillehammer 1994 by Seiko, a well known Japaneese watch-company. Lillehammer passed the olympic torch further to the Japaneese city of Nagano.

Grabbed this guy at 2:00 in the morning in Gion. I will put some miles on it for you. I am headed to China and Hong Kong tomorrow, and then back home to California. Depending on which way oyou go around the world, I think that is closer to Norway...

Oops, almost forgot!

I have the travel bug and hope to send it closer to its goal very shortly.

I have a few friends in Norway, but I don't think any of them are geocachers yet 🙂

Seems like it will take a bit longer because I want to put it in a place where some tourist will pick it up soon. First I thought that the Osaka Castle cache might be the right spot but it is somewhat difficult to find so I will bring it somewhere else.

I took the TB Japan-Norway olympic bug with me because I think the proxinity to Itami airport won't help a lot. Itami is a national airport only. I will possibly drop it off tomorrow at a cache in Osaka or Kyoto where hopefully some tourist will pick it up soon.

Yes yes... I found this little little bug and took it along. I am going to provide a place for it where it will most likely find the another push towards its intended destiny. Its new momentary location will be around
Kyoto...!

As I found this cache, there was only 5 of the 6 original bugs, someone had already taken one.

Bye!
