Was really looking forward to this trip, and was at meeting place early, and searched for guide.However, Guide did not show up, no phone call from guide. ended not being able to go. whole short trip to Kyushu....ruined. I do not even have words to describe how upset I am. Even more, how upset my girlfriend was . very distasteful.
