So here I was again, with a different travel partner and a different itinerary. (or lack thereof one) Unlike 2008 where Simmy and I spent months researching, planning, discussing our itinerary, this one was a last minute, oh Japan is close, there are cheap tickets, let's go! Type of holiday. If there was one thing I learnt about living in Taipei, that is, your life doesn't need to be so rigidly planned out. Relax a bit. Take things as they come! (Some people will still say I need to relax a lot more...)
If you don't wish to read my lengthy account of the travels, here are the concise stats.
- No of Days: 9 days, 9 nights
- Travel Route: Taipei-Tokyo-Hiroshima-Himeji-Kyoto-Kobe-Osaka-Tokyo-Taipei
- Ramen Meal Count: 5
- Sushi/Sashimi Meal Count: 5
- Sake/Beer/Cocktails Count: 9
- Cities Visited: 6
- Hotel Count: 6 - And that includes 3 in just Tokyo
