Have you ever seen Tsuruga Castle in #AizuWakamatsu completely covered by snow quite like this? Sharing some unforgettable winter sights in #Fukushima during their record-breaking amount of snow in February, still something I find hard to forget! #Japan #Japantravel

4. You CAN survive without a Chinese phone number but not with a lot of the apps they recommend. AMap and Meituan were my app stack MVPs and can do so much

5. Third party intermediaries can be hit or miss when booking train tickets. Trip is self-service and involves less cancellation/change fees
