Favorite place to travel

I love to travel. I haven't been to many countries yet, but

I have many places I want to go. I love when I feel the total difference

between me and them. Tells me how less I knew.

However if I should say my favorite place to travel,

again and again, I should say Japan, my own country.

I don't know about my neighbor. I mean, NEIGHBOR.

just bicycle distance from my house. It's too close you don't go

and see what we have. Same thing, I don't know much about Tokyo,

don't know about Japan, as much as what is written on guidebook.

I started to travel inside Japan five years ago, and every time I get surprised

there was many places to visit in this tiny island.

So I love to travel lot of places in Japan, to know about my own country.
