Travel to Japan … and back

2023/24

The travel towards Japan and back lasted one year and started at the Caspian Sea in Kazakhstan. From there I went across Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan to China, Tibet, Hong Kong, Macao, again to China, Taiwan, China, South Korea and finally to Japan.

I stayed for three months in Japan before I headed back vis South Korea, the Russian Federation, Estonia and Latvia finally to Germany.

The project will be documented more and more on this site.
