Wow, five months of travel! Very interesting topic! I love traveling and though it may not be to the same destinations that you have taken and not as long as you did, your tips will come very handy next time. Thank you for sharing them.
High expenses for Japan travel is not a surprise. We spent juat few days there and I can say I shelled out significant amount already. Though a traveler may be conscious of planning and budgeting for the expenses, there are countries that will really be of high cost.
Of all photos that you may have taken, you chose food photos on this post. So which of those can you say is your top pick?
