Oh man i remember visiting japan solo when i was 18 and using the hotel computer in the lobby to research places to go and see each day, how to get to places like akihabara and where to go once there for the best shit.

Printing out a couple of pages of info for the next day ahead. Those were the days. Travel and tourism with maps in your pockets these days really ruins the sense of discovery and adventure that you got before then, I try to avoid using any of that shit but my gf is always pulling out her phone and ruining it xD
