Day 108
I spent the day traveling towards Tokyo, I will spend the last time in this prefecture. To get to Tokyo I went with the Hayabusa Line, A train that maxes out at 320 km/h. I'm not a train nerd or anything, but It's easy to sympathize with Sheldon coopers passion for trains after riding the Shinkansen. Upon arriving I felt so tired that I went straight to sleep, I had to reach Yokohama the day after so I didn't feel like going out to eat.

Day 109
Yokohama. The arch-rival of Tokyo. If you ask anyone here which city is best, they will say Yokohama. It is a highly developed part of Japan, with famous landmarks such as "Minato Mirai". I went out to eat dinner with one of the other hostel guests, and realized that I had to fix some issues with my new page on business profile online. Tomorrow will be spent walking around the city, exploring the nearby area.

Day 110
I woke up, full of hope, full of expectations. I hoped that

Day 110
I woke up, full of hope, full of expectations. I hoped that

Facebook would have fixed the buggy startup of my freelancer page, however this day, "Enri Photography" got a grim reminder of why he hated Facebook. Instead of help, they sent useless information. Instead of quick response, they stayed quiet. Hmmm. I had to solve my issues in a different way, today that meant I walked out and took pictures of the central Yokohama area and Minato Mirai while procrastinating the issue all day long. I got very cool pictures and I'm happy with the catch of the day however I am equally frustrated on facebook, for actively working against people trying to start up their businesses online. I managed to get 500 likes on an ad I ran, and only 1 follower, because they decided I don't need the publicity... Oh well, I will think about it while I sleep tonight and hopefully a solution will have arrived by the time I wake up!

Day 111
I moved to another location today, I am currently sitting in a hostel in

Nakano. After spending the day with Rene I am tired and will now proceed to binge-watch Tokyo Ghoul. We where walking around the Shinjuku area and took lots of pictures of different people. He had bought a new 35 mm 2.0 lens. and it was really fun to compare the different cameras and images we could get. Due to my own failure to plan ahead I have to move hostel again tomorrow... It turns out that Golden week is more intense than I had thought and almost every single bed in Tokyo was booked until next Monday or so. I managed to fix it last minute so now I have a place to sleep until I reach Finland on the way back! bonus; Bellow is the most beautiful macro I've taken so far. Really proud :).

Day 112
Yesterday was all about moving, I didn't do much morethan change locations to the east side of Tokyo. On the way over I stopped by a bakery near Sensoji that is famous for making gluten free cookies.

This was a great decision. I have one more night here before moving to the last hostel in Japan.

Day 113
One of my favorite things to do is to walk out alone, without a goal or a destination. I only had one day to spend in the area around Kinshicho station and what better way to explore than to have one of these walks. Something that I've seen while walking around in Japan is that there are many abandoned buildings and many locations that has become completely overgrown. This is something I've gotten used to and stopped thinking about but it is very puzzling. Japan is one of the most developed countries in the world, yet some places seem completely ignored and left to decay without any interference. I find these buildings the most beautiful. To see a new office building shine like a mirror in the sun and right next to it is something that looks like it was designed for "Last of us" or "Nier Automata" makes

me happy every time. I wish that all buildings would look like these, man-made displays of status and wealth are so dull, nature itself has more beauty and feels so much more powerful. No matter how much we try to keep it under our control we fail miserably every time. This is the best failure of mankind because the result is something so perfect that we could never wish to compete with it.
