Tokyo Thursday, Seoul Sunday
Oct 30th, 2007 by Yue
On Thursday I arrived in Tokyo, after spending the last week in Shanghai. After spending two days in Tokyo, I left for Seoul on Sunday.
Thankfully this is my final stretch of my four week trip to Asia. However, I still have two more cities to visit - Hong Kong and then back to Shanghai. After spending over 20 days traveling alone, I am feeling tired, lonely and more than a little home sick. China’s polluted air has hardly helped matters. To try and avoid getting sick, I’ve been popping Airbone, which is a pill designed by a school teacher to help build your immune system every day.
Arriving in Tokyo was a relief - it is so much richer and cleaner than Shanghai. Unfortunately, it rained most of the time I was in Tokyo. The sun came out on Sunday morning, just as I was leaving to Seoul. Although Seoul seems awfully close to Tokyo on a map, it took me most of the day to travel between the two cities.
One more week to go before heading back to home to Denver. I’m bummed I missed the big event of the year - the Rockies making the World Series. I hear the town went nuts, as Denver always does for its successful sports teams, with purple (the Rockies color) everywhere:
