Restricting Myself from Traveling Abroad
With travel out of the question due to the many hassles, expenses and uncertainties revolving around COVID, I do my best to not think about venturing off to Asia again. And when my mind does go astray, I ask myself if I would even be happy if I were somewhere else right now?

Traveling during COVID19
If someone were to tell you that they will be traveling, how would you feel? As for me, I have mixed feelings toward those that travel when COVID19 is still very much in the air and has yet to be eradicated.

Why I Hate Hotels
I don’t like hotels. In fact, I think I hate hotels. Sure, I’ve never had the opportunity to stay at the Ritz Carlton or even The Four Seasons but I have a funny feeling that even if I had such an opportunity, my feelings toward hotels would remain unchanged.

Why Japan isn’t ready for the Olympics
Coronavirus aside, Japan isn’t ready for the Olympics. Sure, Japan has hosted the Olympics before but that was back in the 90’s. The 90’s were a time when people didn’t invest in traveling so much. It was also a time when barely anyone had the internet (super slow, btw) so they were limited in what they could learn about a country. They were restricted in learning about what they could do/see and needed to rely on travel agencies. Visiting Japan in those days, especially for the Olympics was truly for the privileged.

Nanzoin Temple: Banned to Foreigners
Yes, you read that title correctly. The funny thing about it is that I had no flipping clue it was banned to foreigners until long after I had visited it but after learning about it, I now understand why some of the temple personnel looked so off (cold, uninviting, mean and judgmental). Fortunately, I encountered two staff members that weren’t like that but that’s just two out of their many staff members!
