Happy New Year

I got a facebook message from Naomi.

Hey sorry it's taken so long.I made my way to Hiroshima, then went up to Osaka and then Kyoto and now I'm in Mt Fuji. I will make my way up to Tokyo tomorrow :) Yes I am homeless on the 1st Jan, I either need to share a bed with somebody ;) or party all night.
Ohh you're off to Korea tomorrow- how exciting?! I hope your all packed up and ready to go, Facebook me to let me know how's it going.
Take care :)
Lesson learned: It's hard to be homeless in a foreign country. I experienced being homeless for a night in Cambodia, I ended up having to squat in a room of a Belgian girl I met in the bus going to Siem Reap.
Today, I made sure to book a room at least on the 31st evening just to make me settle. From there I will be travelling to nearby cities of Seoul and hopefully bunked in some cheap hostels I can find. Nothing beats an unplanned adventure ;-)

2008 is the best year so far! I am thankful I took the leap of leaving the comforts of home and family. As usual, I have not booked anything for 2009 yet! Hopefully the adventures continue.

Happy New Year 2009
