End of the Line

Today (the 18th, assuming this is posted then) is my last day in Japan. I’m writing this ahead of time, as I’m spending the day swapping between buses, trains and planes from 10am onwards. So, given that this is my last time with the laptop, I thought I’d take the opportunity to sign off properly.


I’ve had a great time in Japan. Despite some concerns over the cuisine, I’ve really enjoyed every stage of the journey and the stuff that we’ve gotten up to. From the minor stuff (such as heated toilet seats) to bigger things (the view from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, or seeing the Golden Pavilion for the first time), it’s been a blast. We’ve met some really interesting people, and done some really interesting things. It’s been an unforgettable experience.


Dan and Ali have been great travelling companions, and I hope they have a great time during their remaining days in the country. I haven’t really done much travelling in this kind of group, and I didn’t really know what to expect from it. They’ve made it a great time, and I’m very grateful for it.

I still retain editing privileges on this blog, so I might drop in to leave occasional witticisms and the like. But otherwise, I’m looking forward to getting back to Australia, seeing everyone and getting on with things.


Thanks to everyone who has followed this blog. I’m sure Dan and Ali will do a lot to keep it up to date until their final legs of the journey end. Otherwise, that’s it from me. See you back home.
