Am in Seoul right now - ahhh civilisation....loving it here - the electricity, plumbing (actually indoors!), running water! really missed these necessities!
We found a semi-love hotel to stay in that is pretty reasonable, in a great location. It's been great being reacquainted with delicious food (no more mutton, thank god!), shopping, oh the shopping!
So it's only been a few hours here but already blew a wad of money, I guess infrastructure and customer service comes at a price. Anyway, I am long overdue for a spending spree so it's all good.
The big news is...Fiona is flying back to Canada early and won't be doing the Buddhist Pilgrimage anymore. I've decided to continue doing it on my own so whilst it is kinda scary, I am really looking forward to it still, actually even more so bc it will be a true test of my character, faith and willpower. So will be walking the Shikoku island - a distance of 1400km, up and down mountains to get to 88 temples and camping at nights on my own. It will be tough, I am being realistic about it, but it will be an incredible life-changing experience.
Loving Seoul right now. We are just focused on enjoying the food and shopping, it will be a chill 5 days or so before returning to Japan.
