Gyoza!*

Nice pics tho Woodsey.

One of my favourite restaurants is a particularly obscurely located Japanese Barbeque down a random backstreet in Macau. It's open til 2am, expensive and always full.

Excellent pics Woodsey.

How do you plan your itinerary, did you decide before you went or are you making it up as you go?

Pretty much have a rough itinerary which is flexible as needed, if I'm bored with a place I move on and I'll stay longer in places I like. My only commitment is a flight out of Hiroshima at the back end of next week, so as long as I make it there for then with at least a day to see the sights there I'm not bothered what happens between now and then. Think I'll head to Osaka in the morning, but I'll see which way the winds blowing when I wake up.

Disappointing dinner today, omonomiyaki or something like that, basically a thick pancake with meat and veg on it, was sure I'd like it. Might just be a crap restaurant so might try it again elsewhere.

Found quite a nice food market today, quite a contrast to the stinky old markets I'm used to finding around the rest of SEA lol.

So how do you find places to stay, do you just rock up somewhere and look for lodgings?

What are you doing for phone / wifi?

A lot of places yes, not done that here as much though as it's more expensive than other Asian countries I've been to so don't want to be left stuck paying a lump if stuff is sold out.

Wifi is basically available everywhere so don't need a local sim or anything.
