Right before my 25th birthday, I went on my first trip to Japan.
I have not traveled alone since graduation, and I missed it. Being an introvert means there are always days where I badly need some peace and quiet to forget about work, forget about life, family, everything. Traveling solo allows me just that: to live out the life of a hermit (albeit for a short while) without actually becoming one.
Anyway, back to Japan... Why did I ever take so long to make my way to this amazing land of skincare, cosmetics, games and mangas?
I can confidently state that Winter 2013 in Japan will be one of those life changing trip; right up there with 2010 Summer in Italy. For one, this trip made me fall deeply, madly and truely in love with the land of the rising sun. I am an avid Manga consumer, and I thought I knew Japan, but experiencing Japan is so much better than reading about it.
Hence, a mere five months later, I made my 2nd trip to Tokyo. A different season, along with a companion (aka mum), to see the famed Cherry Blossoms that fascinates the Japanese.
