My Style in travelling
Of course, I am backpacker. I filled more than the half of my backpacks with some cameras and many films. I like travel alone (Differ now). I enter the country by a cheap airplane ticket, and my travelling depends on my feelings situation. My means for communications is English, a gesture, a talk in writing, and a smile. The route of travel is decided beforehand. I usually use two guide books . The one is a famous "LONLEY PLANET" and the other is "How to wander around the Earth (Japanese)". I always get up early to take the photograph in Sunrise. I tighten the purse strings for accommodation, but I don't save money for a matter of interst.
