Yea that's the problem with trips on which you go when you are quite young. I barely remember the holidays we went on when I was 8..

That's nice that you remember it as being a nice holiday nevertheless :)

I am actually thinking about learning it one day.

I've got countless connections to Japan, except for manga and anime
It's such a beautiful country, and I've never seen enough of it. I'll likely go back soon, but there are so many other countries to visit!
Currently I'm working on a trip to China and North Korea in August

I have albums mum made from that trip so it helps

Yea I can only remember those trips because of the pictures we have and the stories my family tells me

Oh Merry. didn't you wanna come to Germany in August? Or are you doing both?
Anyway, that is so nice!
I know that I know not enough about Japan.
And yep, there are too many countries I want to visit.

I decided to travel Germany a little more this year as soon as I am back.
And I am still planning to go to Scotland/England after I finish the internship. The problem is that the flight back from Scotland/England is quite expensive..

I'm probably doing both! If I'm not mistaken I should have five days off somewhere that month due to my schedule, I just don't exactly know when yet. The dates for the Asia trip are an actual holiday, so they're already set. The only thing that can happen is that those five days accidentally fall within my holiday, but that would be extremely bad luck
Anyway, my holiday starts on the 27th, so I should be safe enough.

How come the flight from Britain is so much more expensive?

And traveling your own country can be way more amazing than you might've thought indeed! I'm even trying it for my own tiny country these days. I even visited the Keukenhof last week. What's more is that I bought 4 wooden tulips in the Dutch colours and a necklace with a silver windmill pendant. I'm surprising myself with my own patriotism, I've always hated The Netherlands

Lol..it's cheaper to go overseas than to go to say WA state of Australia here.. if you lived in a different state to that.

I am so happy for you Merry, that you are doing all these trips these years! I remember the first time we met here on kofk you were always telling me how lovely it would be to travel more and now you are doing it, indeed!
I hope the free days won't fall into your holidays, too :)
And it would be great if you manage to do both, Germany and Asia :)

It was last year when I really started thinking that I do not know many cities in Germany, but that I actually would want to go there. I started with Dresden, there are more to come, hopefully!

Aw I bet the Netherlands are great, my best friend loves it there! I really want to go there, too!

I don't know, apparently the flights inside the British Isles are not expensive, but if you want to go there or back from there they are... It is not too bad, but still.

I have the urge to sleep but I think that's winter being winter..

Really? I don't think the season makes a difference to me...

oh I thought that too

I think I'm tired nearly all the time
