2 trips in 2024. To the opposite parts of the world. Scottish Highlands and Tokyo. Surprising similarities and things that were completely different. I was eager to visit these places all along, but thought: it is difficult. Not true, at all. Lessons learned, from many many aspects. 

Both countries drive on the left, surrounded by water, have really nice people - even tough the challenging history, or even weather/earthquake events.
 
Whilst in the Scottish Highlands you can be wandering in complete solitude for hours, and embrace the nature,

Tokyo is the biggest city in the world. Still, I have never felt the presence of any suffocating crowds or tension in the air - which many big cities do have.
Last, but not least, the respect towards and living in harmony with nature along with the cutting edge high-tech is nothing less than fascinating.

These impressions are what I wanted to capture and now share: the special moments and atmosphere radiating from these 2 places.
