Day 16: Kushiro-Ombetsu

As is often the case, I started running in the morning.

Rain suits on again.

Left one of the biggest cities in Hokkaido, Kushiro, I see mountains, rivers and wild land again/

It stopped raining in the afternoon.

Getting warm.

There were two inns in Ombetsu, today's goal, but both were occupied.

So I found a place to camp out at a community center.

Not that cold tonight.

Fortunately no rain at all!


*Distance today: 29.3 miles (47.1km)

*Total distance from Wakkanai: 401.4mniles (645.8km)

DAY 1 Changi Airport to Singapore City

Image
I arrived just before 1 AM, but wandered around looking for a place to sleep. I don't like pushing a trolley loaded with a buggy and a 90-liter duffel bag. The area behind the elevator on the second floor seemed quiet, so I decided to sleep there on a aluminum sheet. Even though it was quiet, the lights were on all night and the announcements were loud. I woke up at 4 AM and started PC work. The airport was a little chilly because of the air conditioning. I bought 1.5 liters of water, 500ml of orange juice, and two croissants at a convenience store for 1,400 Japanese yen!? Singapore is said to be one of the most expensive countries in the world. It must be even more expensive because it's an airport. I finished blogging and other work until 7 AM, and as it began to get light, I assembled my buggy and left just after 8 AM. Pedestrians are not allowed to pass in front of the second-floor exit because of the express way. I asked the security guard and he told me there was a walkwa...

DAY 5 Johor Bahru (Malaysia)

Image
DAY 5, second day in Malaysia, stuck in Johor Bahru. In the morning, I did some grocery shopping. It was delicious, but even if I had no idea what I was eating, the AI ​​could help me figure it out. Around noon, I had mie goreng at the food court inside Larkin Sentral Terminal. It was similar to Japanese yakisoba(fried noodle) and wasn't too spicy. At 320 yen, it was great value for money. I also visited the bazaar. To learn about a place, you need to see it from the locals' perspective. Even if you don't understand the language, you can often learn more by feeling than by thinking. A country with cheap and delicious food is a blessing for a traveler. If the people are also warm and friendly, that's even better. * Today's Photo Albums * YouTube Movie List * PEACE RUN Official Site

DAY 37 George Town (Malaysia)

Image
In the morning, while it was still cool and there were few people, I strolled around Georgetown. I saw street art, visited mosques and temples, bought a tart, and returned to the hotel. As expected, being a tourist destination, there were many tourists here and there. It seems that Kuala Lumpur, Melaka, and George Town are the most popular tourist spots in Malaysia. It felt like a considerable number of tourists were flocking here not only from other Asian countries but also from Western countries. There were also many cafes and restaurants catering to tourists. Nevertheless, thanks to its tourist attractions, the city was vibrant and stimulating. As a UNESCO World Heritage site, there are buildings that exuded a sense of history, as well as many colorful houses and shops that we wouldn't see in Japan. People are everywhere, moving around with smartphones and action cameras in hand. For lunch, I went to Fu Yang, which I visited yesterday, and ate barbecue rice. For dinner, I had be...
