Just when I thought I could finally travel abroad. the hurdles have become much higher with rising prices and a weak yen. But Asia is still okay. in fact. Asia is the place I want to go now. Unlike a generation ago. it's not just about enjoying the exotic. the youth culture of each country. including music and fashion. is on the rise. Traveling through the chaos of Asia. where pure and impure things coexist. with just a backpack. in search of unknown encounters. is also a privilege of those in their 20s. For those of you who have never traveled abroad. it's finally time to leave Japan.
