Our 10th trip was plagued with arguments.
My sister kept complaining there were too many stairs in each city and train station. She went to complain each mea made her sick. She went to bitch how I am denying her time to watch Twitch in the hotel. Then she said I had cocked blocked her from her shopping time.
Hey! Just a minute. She was the one who wanted to get out of the hotel at 10am when sun sets at 4pm, when temples, shrines, museum closes at 4pm. Many of the retail stores close at 7pm, but the ones she wanted o see closed at 5pm and many were permanently closed. It has been 5 years since I have flown to Japan. This time around I was too occupied booking my flights, hotels, restaurants, tickets to sea world, plus comparing transit passes. Besides, I was the only one doing the research.
I was not fussed about retail, as the shops I dig, were HUGE and opened late late. I was happy to haphazardly stumble upon gems then to waste transit time to a location that does not have the ONE THING I truly desired. For her it was another plastic toy.
One evening in the first week she stated that I was lazy. Excuse me. I woke up at 5am. I did my morning routine. At 7am, I went out to play Pokemon Go and did raids with others. By 8am, I refilled my water bottle and portable batteries before house keeping came by at 9am. All the while she kept saying she needed more sleep time.
While she purchased fluffy toys, socks, and stickers. I purchased travel pass holders to hold our paper reserved seat tickets neatly, no fancy brand or anything, just soft to touch and doesn't cut the hand. I do like those pass holders connected to a retractable string. So good for IC card. I began to see everyone was using their smart watches on the IC card readers. That's so cool. I want to do that too.
Save on holding so many transit cards.
