Japan

I don't like travel. I enjoy being home. I guess my home is nice enough wanting to spend time in it. I am near the end of our almost 3 week long family Japan trip and here are my thoughts.

  1. We bitch and moan about US, but US is still the best country in the world. And I don't think it's even that close.
  2. Everything is so cramped around here. I am not even that tall, but I need to bend my knees to check my hair on the mirror in a bathroom.
  3. Toilet is super small. I guess bidet is nice and all.
  4. Hard to find trash cans. I kinda agree with that idea, but you just get mentallly tired after awhile.
  5. People are pretentiously polite. I don't think they are, but they pretend to be nice.
  6. I sense the hate towards tourists. If you do, raise your concern to your government.
  7. Food is good, but not great. it's cheaper though. I am kinda done with whole raw fish thing. I might come as completely ignorant, but what's so special about cutting raw sushi and put it on rice? The fresher the fish is, the better sushi is. No? Where is your craftmanship? I have a three more days to go here, but I am done with their "cuisine" If you come to Japan, just eat curry and ramen. Those two are good. I would try other stuff, but it's mostly meh.
  8. People look depressed.

My verdict is that I probalby won't visit Japan again. Too crowded everywhere I go and too busy. It's just not my thing. If you like eating and shopping, I guess it will be okay for you. But I don't. It's kinda of popele I hate love travelling. Travel is a form of escapism; you hate your job and your daily surroudnings.

Just give me books and my dogs. I am good with that.

Can't wait to be back home soon.
