Its been more than 2 months since I've updated.

2 weeks ago I went to a trip to Tokyo by myself.

Ok, maybe not really by myself because I shared the Airbnb accomodation with one friend but throughout the trip we travelled by ourselves and we only like meet up for dinner or breakfast. So the rest of the time we OTOT and travel to places we wanna go unless we having the same destination.

It was a fresh experience for me because usually I travel with my friends and most of the time they are the ones making the planning and the travelling which I will just turn on easy mode and follow without thinking.

But this time round everything I was alone, so I could not really depend on anybody for directions and instructions on how to go to a certain place. So I could gain more experience in travelling and moving around even when I am going to some other countries.

Travelling alone has its pros and cons also as nothing is perfect.

The good things of travelling alone is I dun have to follow a strict schedule as I'm doing everything alone. If I happen to wake up late den I can just change my schedule and places that I wanna go to another place or I can just go to the place later den the timing that I have planned initially.

Secondly I do you have to wait for others or vice versa as like I said earlier, I'm just alone. Coz I am someone that always frequent the toilet be it small business or big business. So that travelling alone I have the freedom to take my own sweet time in doing the " business " I want and I do not have to rush so that the others do not have to wait for me.

Thirdly is I can go any place that I want and I can stay at that place as long as I want. Like I can go Akihabara from 11am to 10pm, slowly walk around all the places and shops that I have interest in. So much freedom.

But there are the bad things also like there is nobody to help u take photos so mostly solo travellers they seldom have photos of themselves and usually is photos of surroundings.

When you're travelling like taking the train or bus, walking around or having meals, you will feel lonely. The first two days will be ok because you will feel very occupied as its a fresh experience but after maybe the 2nd day you will start to feel bored because every meal will be like a lonely meal.

But I kinda like this solo travelling because more of me inside I am those that prefer to do things alone and not always stick around in a group.

I will find a chance and solo travel to Tokyo again as Tokyo is actually such a solo place to travel to.
