Why is the post-Japan travel withdrawal so intense?

Who can relate? It's been two weeks since I returned from Japan, and I'm still reminiscing about the scenes from my trip. Before going, I read a lot of posts warning about potential discrimination in Japan, but my experience was quite the opposite! Japan felt pretty welcoming overall. The only hiccup was when I landed in Osaka—being unfamiliar with the area, I struggled to decipher the complex maps and Japanese signs at the station. I ended up wandering around for nearly two hours before finally boarding the subway to my hotel. 😂😂😂 My 8-day, 7-night whirlwind trip filled up my phone's memory with countless snapshots—each frame a cherished memory. 😀😀 From Nara's deer calls to Kyoto's blooming cherry blossoms, standing in awe beneath the majestic Mount Fuji, visiting Tokyo Tower from countless dramas, savoring the tonkotsu ramen from anime, and buying matcha chocolates recommended by friends—this trip was truly unforgettable. 😊😊 Honestly, I was quite nervous before the trip. The thought of flying to a foreign country with no sense of belonging, not knowing the language, and being directionally challenged was daunting. What if something went wrong? But once I arrived, I realized the world outside isn't as scary as I imagined. In short, brave people get to enjoy the world first! From world to world~~
