It is already middle of February and it is highest time to plan next holidays and next journey. I have few targets, and most of them in Japan. It is because year without being in Japan is a lost year.

Because of this unfortunate economical situation which we have now, I must reduce my plans and I will rather go to Japan only once this year. This is a bad news. Good news is I will meet my dear friends and back to my favourite hostel. And that mean I will come back to Tokyo.

According to my original plan, I wanted to go to Japan during Spring time. I have never experienced hanami yet and this is absolute must to see blooming cherry trees. I wanted to go to Kyoto, for Gion festival too. But I am afraid that this is too early, because very son, in March, I must go to my homeland, to deal with some family businesses.

So in this situation I may go to Japan during Summer or early Autumn. Summer is not the best time for trevelling to Japan, becaue of high temperatures and humidity. Europeans are "cooked" and it is not nice feeling to be all time sweaty and pink on face, not mention that after few hours it is necessery to change clothes, because they are wet. I have no idea how Japanese women are able to look so spotless and cool in the middle of this hell, especially in Tokyo, where heat is so big that mealts surface of streets...

September is still hot, but cooler than August. Also prices of flights are smaller then. From the other side, I do like Japanese Summer and O-bon festivals. It is good oportunity to enjoy fantastic fireworks. And swimming in Pacific. Besides, last time I was in Japan in October and I already miss it. I will not able to wait for another chance to go too long. Even one week would make me happy.

There is also a chance that I will go to Singapore. Nothing is certain, but I recived such proposition from my friend, so maybe I will go there as well. And between my big journeys I want to enjoy some small weekend trips to Amsterdam, Paris, Scotland and Ireland.  I wish I can make it.
