Geisha verging on extinction
I still can't stop comparing Japan with India. I caught the Shinkansen train from Tokyo to Kyoto. It was clean, modern, spacious, comfortable and exactly on time. Everything Indian trains are not. So for the end of my trip I'm travelling in luxury. I need it because travelers fatigue is setting in. City after city is exhausting and I haven't had a …
Day 414: a long train ride
Breakfast is delivered to the room on a tray. Nothing special about that, but about the drink! At first I thought I got a tea bag in a pouch, but smelling it and studying the pictures on its back, I found out that the bag had to be torn open on the top, the two little cardboard handles folded out to hold on to the cup and hot water poured on it.

Day 415: in the forest

I move slowly. Small steps. It's fine as long as I don't bend. That works. Sit straight, walk with your shoulders straight... I was planning to learn that …
