Destiny works its magic the least we expect it. If it is bound to happen, the universe will conspire to make it happen as one event leads to another, leading you to where you are now.
My recent adventure brought me here to the island of Japan. As kids, we have always talked and dreamed about coming here to see our childhood heroes; Astroboy, known here in Japan as "Tetsuwan Atomu" or Mighty Atom, Gundam or "Gandamu", "Chōdenji Mashīn Borutesu Faibu" (Super Electromagnetic Machine Voltes Five) more popularly known as Voltes V. These are among the Japanese superheroes we grew up with, or at least in my lifetime.
Being outside my home country makes the world seems so huge and filled with so many strangers, but on the other hand making new friends, and acquaintances makes it a bit smaller and with lesser strangers. Although language can be a barrier for traveling tourists, it shouldn't stop you from exploring the country's tourist and local hot spots. Being there, living the moment and making more memories adds color to the experience. A trip to the Land of the Rising Sun would not be complete without getting to taste its food. It was such a gastronomic delight. The flavour and taste is well balanced, a must try for all, especially for first-time visitors. It is an experience to be enjoyed and fondly remembered. Japan has its share of colorful history, rich culture, and the diverse population has made her to who she is now.
Traveling, seeing, and meeting new people can be a great experience because you learn to communicate in a number of ways without having to speak any Japanese. All these made our stay fun and much more interesting.
In my title I said Falling in love in Japan, yes, it’s IN Japan, because what I was really driving at is both "Falling in love with Japan", and "Falling in love in Japan". The people and the culture are very deep rooted, which I find very admirable and humbling.
Spending nearly a week in the country seemed too short to see the sights and sounds and more wonders of Japan. If given the chance to go back, I would go in a heartbeat, where I can immerse myself and experience more of what Japan has to offer.
