A leap into the unknown Japan

It’s about my travel journal around museum, various exhibition, and temples which held in Japan, since currently I live in Japan. I start my travel blog around the end of 2018 and it still updates until now. It start when I felt so empty, to the point I lost myself, alone, lonely, broken, lost of love, stressful, far from my family, while I’m not good at socialize at all, and I must face to face with reality in my overseas time. Alone, because no body have time together with me, and i got reject, fooled and bullied by society because my nervous system. It harsh to the edge. seems funny but it’s not funny at all, for me. And I got depressed. and because of that fact , i reflexly go around my neighborhood, try to feel the nature around my living place and environment of my workplace, alone, and i wonder if there are other place to go. that’s the time I decide to make my travel journal. This can be happen too, since I’m not good enough at socializing, even though I go to bar and club, feel the ambiance, try to get hook up, it leave me desperate at the end. Hence. i think it’s convenient for me go to many museum, which full of history, at least, rather to let my mind blank because my neediness unfulfilled, put many knowledge inside my head. While hoping meet anybody that have a same situation and same depression with me. In my opinion, Japan had cool museum ‘. either indoor museum or outdoor museum. Either it held in the city crowd, or alienated from the people, even for the Japanese themselves. Not to mention, the accommodation is not costly. It’s cheaper than to go to club or bar or famous tourist attraction. The interactive and many interesting set up for the visitor are worth to experience. It’s clean, manicure, full of interesting knowledge and fact, easy to find, since the museums itself give the visitor a paper guide to explore by self, and some museums offer the tour guide to explore the museums. And they held a interesting souvenir that rarely been found outside the museums. Moreover, many museum in Japan let visitor to experience the tradition in Japan, such as using samurai armor, do the tea ceremony, and many more. In the future, I planned to go to museum and traveling around the world. Either for public or for myself. I love to make it my blog better, but because of my work in Japan, I only travel and writing in my free time, that too, nowadays rarely to find. And I’m still uncertain to go back to Indonesia, since it’s so vague for me to live there.
