We landed in Darwin Australia... A BIG
cultural change from Japan!
Japan is refined, complex, high speed and
crowded, with impeccable service, incredible attention to detail and a very
strong sense of the community.
First impression is that Australia is vast
and rugged with big empty spaces, very few people, and a very laid-back
approach. It feels that we have jumped back in time. For instance,
checking in at the train station was on a hand written paper
list, an 8 mile beach with zero development, or 3 hours to rent a car
(well, to be fair, there were three people waiting) that had an antique
child car seat...
Both countries are wonderfully enjoyable
though, for completely, and almost opposite reasons. It has
been a great start.
