Maybe I'm spontaneus or maybe I'm not. However, planning wasn't my first thing in my mind when I set the idea on this trip to Japan. Maybe I even avoided planning, as to keep my ideas open and wild. Adventure is the word that tingles my mind and that is what I'm seeking.

If something was planned, it was only my return date. Just because I have a ticket to this one concert. And well, as the title says: "Two months and some days."  The maximum stay for a Finnish tourist in Japan is three months, without visa that is. I think two months might be just enough for me.

This is my journey. Some people plan. Some people go and do. And there's the middleground. I took my own liberties in going and planning. One must have a solid ground under his or her foot all the time, I think. Balance can be shocked at times, but never tilted over.

For your sanity, yes, I have insurance. I bought a 21-day Ordinary Japan Rail Pass too. I'm prepared for many situations. I'm your "wannabe-MacGyver", unfortunately without the brains, but I have the tools!

What can I say? Planning is good. But in some cases it might take the edge of from living! This is why I do it my way.
Is this really so big? Not probably, at least in a world scale. But for one man, one mind, this two months sounds like a nice challenge, an opportunity to find a deeper meaning. Or then not!

We are just human. We do. We play. It's unnatural to shut off the person in your mind who wants to play, the one who says: "Hey, let's go and explore and learn!" Yes, there's many ways of exploring and learning and this trip is one of my ways.

But hey, just a word of an advice, now with feeling and some little experience: Planning is good. But as said, it might take the edge out of your life. This trip might have been some of the things I should have planned more carefully, but then again ... Why? I might have ended even worse, even not taking this trip if I would have planned a lot. It was not one of my dreams to seek for a place to stay in rain, but hey, nothing is perfect. I really think so.

If something or someone is perfect, then, where is the goal? I think that there is always a way to be better, not that you must always seek for it ... Being content, that is what I mostly seek.
