Back home

Feels great to be back home, especially when it's been one of my longer travels than usual of over 3 weeks. While naturally I wasn't fully off-hive, it still felt quite refreshing to only to cater to a few things and focus on just enjoying japan for a while.

The thing I dislike the most from coming back from my travels is all the stuff I need to catch up on that's been happening since I've been gone, such as checking out the hivefest streams with the presentations there and checking out what our devs have covered in the holozing world.

This'll be a short post, I'll include a few pictures from my phone but will have the camera owner @hiddenblade edit all the other pics worthy of sharing for more proper posts later. Although I have to say I'm not a good photographer nor am I good at traveling as it became apparent, most of the evenings we just went to a few local izakaya's or pubs to have some beer and call it a night after walking most likely 2000% more every day than I do here (which I plan on changing now that I'm back). In general I'm not great at going places to take a lot of pics and at times it just felt like bringing the camera with me every where I go was kind of a burden. xD Probably cause I had enough bodyweight to try carry around as my feet were screaming wtf is going on due to the sudden change of activity.

Either way, Japan was amazing. In the beginning I kept getting amazed by how well maintained and pretty everything is there for simple things like streets, road signs, etc, not sure if it's cause I'm comparing it to the philippines a lot but I couldn't help but instantly wanting to live there. Even though that'd be quite a bother itself due to needing to learn the language, etc, it'd still be nice to live there for many reasons, but most likely just a pipe dream for now, unless pewdiepie has some good connections to make it easier for another Swedish-speaking bloke to move there.

Probably a lot to say that'd make this post longer, but I'll just keep it short for now as I'm still settling in and going through hive things.

Thanks to everyone who's been sending me messages wondering why I'm not posting and wishing me a nice trip when I explained the reason! This trip felt quite nice and I feel refreshed to get back at things, maybe it felt especially nice since a friend of mine sponsored my expenses knowing hive hasn't been doing all that well xD as they say, free food tastes the best, I guess!

Looking forward to becoming more active again with curation, posting and continuing work on my projects and reporting on that, thanks to all the great hivers still around and building either projects, stake and/or connections, that's what its all about!
