Next big international trip will be Japan, South Korea, and maybe Viet Nam, Cambodia, and Thailand. Depending how much time I have. I am fascinated by the Okinawa fish market vids on YouTube. I gotta do that too.

Okinawa has cheap domestic flights from many Japanese cities, including all the major airports, all for around $100. Might be a little higher as far north as Sapporo.

When I visited my daughter in Kobe (2022), flight from that airport were only about $50, but I was catching a connection to an international flight in Tokyo Haneda which cost me all of about $70!
