Holidays To Escape

1. Japan is perfect. Going away from home to another country is perfect. I think about nothing from home because I like to immerse myself in other cultures.

2. Today I went to Miyajima, a beautiful island near Hiroshima. Shinto temples and gates are absolutely breathtaking. Had a delicious oyster udon for lunch and went to a restaurant that served whale for dinner. Didn't have any though :'(

Tomorrow I'll be going to the Hiroshima gardens and then catching the Shinkansen to Kyoto. Looking really forward to that, should be lovely. Maybe hit a tea house with some maiko and hopefully buy a sword or something equally as cool.

I want to come back to this place very soon with friends rather than family. I would be doing significantly more living rather than sightseeing if with friends.

I also needs to buy a bottle of Suntory whiskey duty free to drink with someone when I get home. Who wants in?

  2. I am taking family photos but taking some of myself. Kyoto is lovely, just arrived today. I had Black Boss ice coffee and I'll grab some Suntory calpis tomorrow from a vendo.

    Regarding Shibuya, I don't know, I was too busy looking at 109 and finding somewhere to eat and not losing my rents. Last thing is very low priority, I just want to get away from them!
