To the silent Red

 

    Some people said, "If you want to see Japan's present day, you have to go near  Tokyo where Japan's capital is. But if you want to see Japan's past, you have to go to near Kyoto where Japan's capital was." It was sure that lead me to Kyoto to find Japan's past. Because I'm a man who finds the past, although I could go to the Tokyo(it was just 8, 9 hours from our quarters), I didn't want to go there.

    I traveled 7 nights and 8 days with one of my friends. At first 3 of us planned the trip. Because 2 of us insisted the Japan's past travel package, the other guy who wanted to see the Japan's present day gave up the trip. So only two of us went to the Osaka, where Japan's first port city was, by way of cruise. Because it took 18 hours one-way, we stayed on the ship for 3 days. So, in fact, the travel of Japan was just 5 nights and 6 days. From January 29th to February 5th, our traveling schedule was as follows:

    In this travel, I have to thank two people(Jeon han-seong who is one of the my best friends who traveled together and Yamamoto Akina who helped us stay and move in Japan) The trip costed only 550,000?. For a trip to Japan, normally it's impossible to do it that way. But these days, I'm full-out libertine, so it's impossible to pay more.

    "I'll loan 10,000￥ to you. Just pay back 100,000 won, slowly and slowly."

    Jeon's care gave me the chance of this great experience. But, if you thought more deeply, you would find that it's also impossible to travel Japan that long a time by using that much money. It was possible because of Akina's care. She invited us to her home in Siga-ken during the travel. And she fed us breakfast every day for a week and became our tour guide. Jeon's care and her kindness, that is, gave me the chance to experience this. Like my mother always said, "for man, network works great power."

    If I said my conclusion first, I'd say "this trip was really really great!". I have traveled two times to a foreign country. The first trip was to China, and the second was this trip. The Chinese trip was not bad, but because this trip was backpack unlike forward, it made a bigger impression. That I had a lot of thinking time made the trip meaningful. In turn, the thinking helped me experience various senses.
