ENTER Japan

The decision is made.

I will be flying to Japan next Tuesday.

And I had so looked forward to it.

At the end of February, when most of the ”What the hell am I doing” had changed to ”Hell yes! I'm doing this”, I decided that I would spend the 4 weeks left until my departure to Japan in elatedness.
