Japan notes

Learning to look twice.

Language, culture, and the small details that make travel in Japan an ongoing practice of attention.

Choosing where to sleep in Japan becomes an exercise in culture, comfort, compromise, and learning when to stop planning and simply arrive.

Reworking a journey through the Kii Peninsula, choosing fewer stops, slower travel, and more time to actually experience the places along the way.

Making conscious choices about time and what to see.

Language study as a long practice in humility, attention, and staying curious.

A note on autumn, travel, Japan, and the beginning of a quieter project.
