As long as there is significant tourism there will always be some level of english knowledge, but you still get the expirience of being functionally illiterate while roaming the city, and that is a wierd place to be when you get used to it. Even when going to places with a different language that still use the same alphabet this change is not nearly of the same magnitude.

Staying in Osaka for now, I have a couple of days in Kyoto for buisness later and am planning on visiting Tokiyo, but did not reserve anything in advance. The rest of the time I the plan is to ve rock climbing and hiking outside as much as the weather allows. The trip from the airport to the city centre was already a fun experience, I met a bunch of other clueless tourists and we managed to get the right train together. Now time for my first time dealing with jet lag!

Just on my way to the airport for a one month solo trip to Japan without knowing the language, feels kinda scary and exciting at the same time. No expectations, I sometimes just love the feeling of hurling yourself out of your comfort zone and having to adapt I find that those situations are a really good place to grow.

There used to be a really cool project called Free seed ring earth, that distributed seeds for the cost of shipping, with seeds aquired through donations. Not sure if it’s still active, but I loved participating some 15-20 years ago.

Searching for music from Psychedelic porn crumpets on youtube is also fun!
