A dream come true for me and my family: we have finally made it to the Land of the rising sun. We are currently spending New Year's here, in the land of Voltes V, Gundam, and all the anime I loved over the years.
I tried to learn a bit of the language before we got here but 98% of it went out the window! It's so different from theory. I must be approaching it the wrong way.
I am amazed at the technogy that abounds here. The main door to our accommodation unlocks itself automatically upon approach, then locks again when we exit. How is that even possible? Then they have light switches that you push only one way and the light turns on or off. Needless to say, the bidet was something else.
Our place also has the smallest bathtub which looked funny at first glance, but made perfect sense when we finally used it.
Then there's the people. So far everyone have been so kind and approachable. And patient! When they realise I'm not Japanese, they switch to English. All the more resolve for me to try and really learn the language.
There's so much art and beauty in this place. We are currently at winter time but it's a welcome respite from the Philippine's heat and humidity.
More importatntly, this break is doing us a lot of good for our family bonding time. ❤️ Enjoying our time here. I pray that we will remain healthy throughout our break!
(Incidentally, as of this writing I have never seen any Voltes V merch yet!)
