arsenic poisoning cured by jingling keys

Our plan for next time is to start off in Seoul for a coiuple of days, go down to Busan and take the ferry to Fukuoka, then work our way up to Tokyo stopping anywhere that seems interesting.

The trains are old? Maybe outside of Tokyo, AFAIK they replace the train stock on the most used lines pretty regularly.  Sure beats anything we have in the US.

I hated Kyoto, although I've only been to Kiyomizudera and the surrounding tourist hellscape.  It really is like a theme park.  I'd like to spend more time off the beaten path next time.

I liked Osaka a lot, it feels more laid back than Tokyo.  Dotonbori is a pretty fun couple of hours.  Last time we went, we stayed in Osaka and made day trips out to Kyoto and other places, it was a lot cheaper that way.

the real treasure was the friends we made along the way

I got really into the new Huawei phone news recently, but was having a hard time figuring out what was real and what was propaganda.  At some point I definitely fell for the anti-China "it's a total failure and they're covering it up" narrative, but I really trust Asianometry and they had a much more grounded view on the whole thing, which changed my perspective.  The whole channel is great.

I want to jump into the big nets, looks like fun

definitely safe
