    Matsushiro Castle

    Of all the cities I visited in Japan, I’d have to say that Matsushiro (Nagano) was my favorite. The charming city gave me glimpses into what life may have looked like in the past. Centuries ago even thanks to what’s left of Matsushiro Castle.

    The Forgotten Shrine in Matsushiro

    Peace, tranquility and alone time. These are the things I want right now. As much as I’d love to get up and fly to a remote island, I just can’t do that right now. Okay, so if a colleague of mine’s can go to England, I suppose I can go somewhere, but would I? I wouldn’t. For as long as the coronavirus exists, I will not have the nerve to risk myself and others to the coronavirus for the sake of having a so-called good time. I think it’s selfish, yet at the same time, I understand why people have this desire to get away. It’s a coping mechanism from the craziness that revolves around covid. Either that or they’re just in denial that covid exists and feel entitled to enjoying life as they please.
