Day 18: Urahoro-Taiki

Sunny day. Warm enough to run.

50 miles (80km) nothing between Urahoro and Hiroo.

It's been fun running in the wild land.

So many ups and downs.

Kind of boring, sometimes depressive.

Probably my run in Hokkaido will soon end in 5 or 6 days.

I wish I would stay a little bit longer in Hokkaido.

*Total distance from Wakkanai: 447.5 miles (720km)

DAY36 Last Night in Taiwan (Taoyuan)

Image
I woke up leisurely in the morning and packed up the buggy.  It was a bit sad to dismantle it after a long ride.  I wandered around Taoyuan City again.  In the afternoon, I met up with Kanae and a friend from Japan.  Miyuki guided us to the Zhongli tourist night market.  We had some delicious food again tonight.  Taiwan's night markets are all lively and fun.  My last night in Taiwan was a memorable one. *Today's Distance: 0km  Total Distance from Taoyuan: 917km * Today's Photo Album * YouTube Playlist

DAY 37 Taoyuan International Airport-KIX

Image
On the morning of my return home, I packed up my tent and packed my bags.  Afterward, Kanae and I had a lively conversation about our trip, and Miyuki arrived.   We walked through the shopping district again and even Miyuki bought some souvenirs, and finally, just before 10:00 AM, Uber car arrived.  I said goodbye to everyone and headed to the airport.  With some time before departure, I wandered around the airport, reminiscing about my fun days in Taiwan and coming up with various plans for when I return to Japan.  I checked in just after 1:00 PM and boarded AirAsia flight D3778 just after 3:00 PM.  How fast! I arrived at Kansai Airport in just two and a half hours.  Taiwan may seem far away, but it's actually quite close.  I'd definitely like to visit again. *Today's Distance: 0km  Total Distance from Taoyuan: 917km * Today's Photo Album * YouTube Playlist

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...
