There is not much in the way of details prepared yet, but as the date moves closer I will have to nail down some details I suppose. However, there are a few things I am pretty sure about.
First is that, of course, I will be landing Narita on July 22 after a flight of over 12 hours. I have not decided whether I will go straight to a hostel that night or find some other way of occupying myself during the late hours. I will be getting in at around 5:30 JST so I could definitely maximize the efficiency of my travel if I sleep on the plane and enjoy the night in Tokyo.
When I arrive in Tokyo I plan to buy a Suica + N’EX package which will provide me with a discounted fare on the Narita Express into Tokyo and a card (Suica) for use on the transit system once I arrive. I plan to hang around Tokyo until Friday or Saturday, when I will fly to Incheon (Seoul, South Korea) where I should meet HK noona and H. What exactly my plans are upon arrival, I do not know. I have plans to travel some around Korea and to use the KORAIL (Korean Rail) pass. I am still debating which duration I will get, though maybe five days will be sufficient.
The next thing I know for sure I will be doing is attending the Busan International Rock Festival – something I have been planning to do for a long time. I can´t imagine something that would please me more than an ocean-front rock festival in Korea. Plus it is free.
Details beyond that are rough and may never be formalized. I can get a lot out of just arrivinig and figuring out what is best to do from there. I am too far away now to figure out what will please me the most. That said, it will definitely not take much.
