Do's & Dont's

Reflecting on my Japan trip, I have made a list of Do's and Don'ts for myself for the upcoming year.

Do's:
- More Karaoke
- More Arcade- visiting
- Definitely more Onsen-visits, preferably natural ones in Hakone.
- If shop for clothing, buy more long-sleeves since Holland is much more colder than Japan.
- VISIT A FRIGGIN LIVEHOUSE GODDAMNIT
- More Concerts
- Baseball-game was fun
- Batting Center was fun
- Prior to departure, make a investigation of good places to go out for the night.
- Prior to departure, make reservations of guesthouses in other cities than Tokyo.
- I want to visit the mountain in Hakone which is close to Mt.Fuji. More easy to get to than Fuji-san.
- During flight, refresh my memory on Japanese grammar, because my Japanese just sucked this year. XD
- GO TO NIJIMA! Reserve a guesthouse there!
- Plan the Railpass-week out. Not only the place where I want to go, but also what kind of things I want to do and see in that place.
- Wear a coat when going to Nikko.

Don'ts:
- NO MORE TEMPLES, yadayada~kyou wo zenzen kyoumi naishi! (Only three things were worth visiting, the one in Nikko (a must-see, preferably in a rainy day, very mystical feeling), Fushimi-nari in kyoto and the huge temple on a mountain also in Kyoto (forgot name).
- Don't make the railpass-week a Temple-visit trip anymore. Only Kyoto is allowed.
- Never fly with Finnair, no matter how cheap it is.
- Sleep in a room with (almost) non-existing airconditioning. The gap between the weather in Holland and the weather in Japan was too huge. Difficult to adapt to.
- Buy useless stuff anymore just because it looked cute. >.<;;
- Buy too many Manga, too heavy!
