How I Travel Japan without Any Electronic Devices
_______________
So Shantell, you have been traveling all over Japan without your phone. How are you finding what trains you need to get on and off of? How do you know what streets to turn and stuff?

Well my fellow 友達‘ｓ, it’s quite simple. There are these cool things called ‘maps’, fam. I know it’s crazy but the madness doesn’t stop there. You can also just talk to people. But don’t worry I understand it can be a little 難し if your 日本語 is not 上手 enough. I feel you fam. I really do. However, the first thing that Japanese 101 teaches is how to clutch phrase your way to some super fly 日本語 skills. These phrases being: 「これはどこですか。Kore ha(wa) doko desu ka? 」 More or less this phrase translates to “Where the hell am I?”, but slightly more polite. 「（Place you are trying to go, fam）はどこですか？use your inference skills, your 英語is probably 上手 enough」This will help you find the streets and trains you have to get on and off of. On a serious note, I think more people should go to more places without their phones. It’s honestly so much fun. I feel like my memories of places are a lot more fun when I am not spending my time trying to get that perfect shot. Sometimes you just need to experience the area and not document it. It’s not like my phone is completely useless, it is broken and without wifi but I can take pictures so sometimes if I am not caught up in the moment of doing something I’ll take a quick picture but most of the time I don’t even take my phone out with me. I just get on the train with my map and go. I have gotten so much better at time management and navigation because of how much I have been traveling without my phone. Well anywho, Imma headout everyone. Thanks for reading!
