Using Wanderlog to plan my Japan itinerary.
Last year: 286 places, 2 weeks. Many of which got sacked off, due to 2 weeks not being enough, hence the return.
This year: 419 places, 3 weeks. And rising.
The maths don't math. Why must you conspire against me with all your charms, Japan?

Adobe CC doubled their subscription recently and my year is up, so I finally went to cancel it after using it for decades.
Skip to the end: I'm now paying 33% *less* than I was before.
I’m not sure who won, but it definitely wasn’t maths.
Not complaining, like.

And that's why you can't rely on Google Translate. (Saying that, this is Japan. Anything is possible.)
