    My trip won't be until November, but I still love those videos 😀 There are always so many interesting tidbits in there!

    So, JESTA is essentially Visit Japan Web, but then paid.

    Also had a quick look at the cherry blossom forecast, and it looks like they are early this year. Might need to travel to Hokkaido by the time I'm there 😅

    There's another reason why I will keep using my IC card instead of tap-to-pay: speed. When I look at people using their debit or credit card, you can see it is slower than an IC card. If everyone did that, you would need more gates during rush hour.

    China Airlines is a taiwanese Airline so this shouldn´t be a problem if there is no war happening in the area. Taiwan calls themselve as the republic of China. Wonderful land by the way.

    Rainbow sprinkles on buttered bread is called Fairy Bread in Australia, mainly for children’s parties. Chocolate sprinkles on toast is a German thing. It’s a surprisingly good mix!
