I remember Bella, some nice people on Burbles...

There certainly was, anyway on a good note life has got better, working again and sociasing a bit too much

I had to take my lad out of school at the time to add to the nightmare but after spending the summer in America with friends he's travelling solo in japan. at just 18 .

Proud, but hopefully not boasting, but I am very proud .

If you can’t big up your own kids, what’s the point? Fair play to him, you should be proud...

He's broken "a paper curtain thing" in a hostel in error in Kyoto but now back Tokyo, He's been riding a " rusty old bike" around Kyoto but it was "too quiet and a bit boring". Osaka has been his favourite place , a bit "more gritty" and the folks are friendly and not so reserved plus he made a few of friends there. Hes off to https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3800.html tomorrow on the train for the day.
Will be glad when he's home

There's no better education than traveling. I read that in a Catherine Cookson novel and it's always stayed with me.

A nightmare on his way to the airport, his travel moneycard didn't work apparently because he used it more than twice at an atm and blocked for 24 hour, although pleny of money in the account. Anyway he was stuck at a station trying to get to airport , no money and last train already gone, police came to help him out and drove him to a taxi with a card reader which should have worked. Arrived at airport and card failed again, no one spoke english, police and airport staff there etc Airport staff said he would probably miss his flight Luckily we have a friend here who is japanese and managed to translate took ages to sort out paying the taxi as they have very different system there. He's home now and a roast dinner and now out with his mates Dread to think what my phone bill is , but anyway he had a good time apart from that last night. "worst night of his life" .A bit of a learning experience for him .I hurt my knee in the panic trying to get translator japanese womans house and could hardly walk yesterday but much better today. What a nightmare it was, and now he's thinking about his next trip Well hes back to work soon and college course.

Anyway he got a ride in a japanese police car, his mates wished him a good journey home and were a bit aghast when he said he was in a police car. All in all turned out O.K but I think he might be a traumatised as he thought he might be arrested or whatever else you might think traveling alone in a foreign country with no access to money

But we wont be using Caxtons travel card again.
