I remember when i went to Japn back in 2017 i almost exclusively used cash but every since covid japan has been more accepting of alternative payments such as credit cards/debit cards and mobile payments (PayPay, Line Pay). /blog/day-two-arriving-to-japan/ Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/day-two-arriving-to-japan/ So day two stars with arriving at the airport everything when through pretty seamlessly having already completed my immigration application online before arrival. All I had to do was show them the QR code they had given me and had to go through a few gates to get my photos taken and fingerprint scanned honestly it was quicker than the last time I came to Japan as I had to manually fill in forms when I arrived since I had to fill it all online before arrival they had all the details and the immigration check was quick and easy. /blog/day-one-in-transit-to-japan/ Thu, 16 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/day-one-in-transit-to-japan/ I can’t believe the day is finally here. Today is the day I embark on my solo traveling journey. All the months of planning and all the work involved to plan this trip are finally being paid off to put into good use. As for how everything will go according to plan we shall see but I’m feeling excited as well as a little bit anxious as I have no idea what it’s going to be like solo travelling. /blog/welcome-to-my-blog/ Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000 /blog/welcome-to-my-blog/ Hi All, My name is John, If you’re reading this then I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into. This is just my blog to document my traveling adventures while I explore the world and experience new cultures. I guess the purpose of this blog is more of a documentation of my traveling trips where I can look back and relive a lot of the memories that I’ve had from these traveling trips.
