I've been to Thailand a few times and agree. We've been to Vietnam only once but would go back there too. Also, Malaysia, the birthland of my dad. Worth a visit also. So many places M, so little time...Or Time and money I guess is more accurate.

There is at least a glimmer of hope on the horizon with the first vaccine announced to be 90% effective. Now it is just to wait a bunch of months more before it reaches everyone. 2020 has stolen quite a bit of that time for many it seems. Including me. I was hoping to travel a lot more this year, but none of it came to fruition. Not to mention how out of touch I feel with people. Yes, even a cave dweller such as me needs people in life xD
South Korea also sounds lovely, Cambodia, Japan. I wish I could just take off and go right now.
I was just talking to T-dog (no one actually calls Taraz that) yesterday on the phone about this...The stolen year.
I'm not one to open up about my feelings much but I was saying how angry I am about it, how robbed I feel and that the entire world is feeling some version of that scenario. I need a break, that's what prompted the conversation, and there's little hope in sight at the moment, not just due to the pandemic, but because of Faith's mum's scenario...All we can do is push on, stay as connected as we can and manage our emotions and attitudes.
Yeah, Japan is on our list. My sister in-law is Japanese and we'll travel with her and my bro (not T-dog) to Japan at some stage. It'll have more meaning, less a tourist-trip, more immersive.
Ahaha when you wrote stolen year I thought of Trump's stolen elections xD
Yep, a break would be pretty great by now. It is especially hard to manage yourself in these times I think, everyone is screaming and pushing their opinions on everyone. There is so much friction between people. No one is willing to listen to the other side. Like screaming into the void. All we can do is to check ourselves not to fall victim to one or the other. Step back and look at ourselves.
Oh you are so lucky! I am sure she will show you the culture from really Japanese perspective, not the touristy side. So cool! Would love to at least read on your adventures there then :)
I couldn't have said it better.
I think if we're all looking out for ourselves, understanding how we feel, it will help us maintain the right attitude, mostly...Then we can look outwardly a little more and ask others Are you ok?.
I'm not sure when Japan will happen, after the pandemic thing though. It will be very cool to have an insiders perspective though. :)
