Oct 6–9
Tokyo Japan
A full day touring the city, then a morning racing street go-karts through the neighborhoods, then up the gangway.
東京
Three weeks, one long blue line across the East China and South China Seas, with a few days in Seoul to finish.
A few days on foot in Tokyo, then the ship heads west past the Seto Inland Sea, hops across to Korea and Taiwan, and turns south along the coast of Vietnam to Singapore. A night flight north brings it all to a close in Seoul.
Oct 5–9 · Getting my land legs before the sea ones
A full day touring the city, then a morning racing street go-karts through the neighborhoods, then up the gangway.
Oct 9–23 · Six ports and plenty of open horizon
A day trip to Kyoto: temple gates, quiet gardens and lantern-lit lanes.
Hakata ramen at a riverside yatai stall is the whole plan.
Volcanic coastline and waterfalls that drop straight into the sea.
A long port day, so there’s time for Taipei and a night market before the ship sails.
Dim sum by day, Victoria Harbour lit up by night.
Into Saigon for street food, scooters and old colonial landmarks.
Last port and farewell to the ship: Gardens by the Bay, then a hawker-center dinner.
Oct 24–27 · A night flight north, and a little time for me
A personal color analysis, a portrait session in Myeongdong, and palaces in between.
“Twenty-three days, eight harbors, and one very long way home.”
Photos and stories to follow once I’m back on dry land.
