#SomewhereSunday
The #SomewhereSunday destination today takes me to Asia. Specifically to Japan, which is on my youngest daughter's bucket list. The Asian countries have held less interest for me but Japan woes me with its cherry blossoms and gardens. Also, I really enjoy the architecture.
My go to tour guide hasn't been to Japan. Boo! So in lieu of some sort of official tour through this stunning country I searched out some "top/best things to do in" videos - separated by cities in Japan. Tokyo is the clear winner for a Japan bucket list but there are other cities that deserve attention as well. That being said, let's start with Tokyo.
But watch out for those tourist traps!
Tokyo
This is incredible!
It's a curving bend of wild cherry trees in Nara.

Here are some recommendations for the top must-see places in Japan:
I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
