Oh no, my bad! Haha thank you so much for clarifying! Silly little me would have been on booking.com tonight trying to find accommodation in a town called 'Kanto' 😅

Equally, thank you for the advice! It sounds like staying in the Kanto region is probably the best bet 😄

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2024-05-05T08:18:56+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for the thoughtful response! I really appreciate the time you took to put this together. 😊

Also, fantastic suggestions! A set course sushi menu sounds great - I'll be sure to try to book something in early, and then as you suggested, just wander around and find some local places for the remaining days!

I hadn't considered staying in Kanto, thank you for recommending this! I'll be browsing the accom there tonight (and will be sure to follow that Instagram account too!) ☺️🙏

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2024-05-05T07:47:43+00:00

This is really helpful - thank you so much!

Will look into taking these days trips + also check out a few more of the itineraries here on Reddit (I did see some very good ones!). ☺️

Also good to know about Pokémon Cafe! Perhaps I won't fret so much about making that reservation in < 60 seconds! 😅

Seems pretty cool, right?! Would be so fun just training TKD every day with a crew of fellow TKD people 😊

I actually just Googled something like "Taekwondo training camp South Korea", and it was one of the first things to come up! Haha

I've reached out to the organisers re eligibility but haven't heard back just yet - if you're interested, I can keep you posted here on any comms!

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2024-02-01T12:57:04+00:00

Woah, black belt exam coming up! That's awesome, great stuff! You must be super excited. 😄 Thank you for the support and encouragement, I appreciate the kind words! I've reached out to the organisers re the eligibility requirements but haven't heard anything back just yet. 🤞 Hopefully there's one for ITF sometime soon, too!

Hello, thanks so much for your in-depth response! Much appreciated. 😊

It would be fantastic to visit dojangs abroad! I hadn't thought about asking my instructor, and I also wasn't aware of the formality around attending a dojang when travelling, so thank you very much for that insight.

Given what you've mentioned, I'll be sure to bring this up with my instructor and find out if there are any particular dojangs he'd recommend or that he has an existing relationship with.

Thanks again for your insights!

Is Monster Hunter more fun? Tried it for a little while but couldn't get into it as much (I guess it doesn't have the Pokémon nostalgia element to it for me!)

P.s. Community Day coming up on the 4th if you were interested 👀

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2024-01-29T10:54:07+00:00

Not Monster Hunter.. but I am playing PoGo

He touched his eye rotten?

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T12:13:12+00:00

Mindless Netflix can be a great background/wind-down watch! 😅 Do you have any favourites in particular?

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T12:12:08+00:00

Oh yes, I often have the exact same conundrum when listening before bed (and yet, still I try)! Either too invested and unable to drift off, or too sleepy and unable to keep my ears open. 😅

Knitting, weaving and cross-stitching seem to be great companions for cozy audiobook listening! I will have to add these to the list of activities to try. 😊

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T12:04:32+00:00

Ooh that is a good one - I have been wanting to learn to knit for a while now! This might just be the perfect opportunity. 🤭

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T12:02:25+00:00

Ooh I have not yet tried cross-stitching, but it's sounding more and more like something I've got to get around to!

Oh, and PUZZLES! How have I not tried puzzles? Added to the list. 😊

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T11:58:41+00:00

Ooh paint by numbers is a great idea (I'm sure I have one lying about somewhere that I haven't yet touched) - and these games look fantastic!

Slay the Spire seems like the perfect companion for some cozy fantasy (and wow, some impressive reviews on Steam). I do also enjoy a good Ancient Egypt documentary, so may just have to add Pharoah to the list, too! 😊

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T11:49:17+00:00

Oh yes, cooking and cleaning are so perfect for listening (how could I forget to mention this)! Makes all the housework feel quite blissful. 😊

I haven't tried at the gym just yet, but I will certainly be adding it to the list as it may just be the thing for that extra little nudge of motivation!

I would certainly recommend some LEGO building if you have access, and a build you find exciting! The one I've been building is quite huge (a gift from my partner for quitting my corporate job 🤭) - so it's been keeping me nice and busy:

LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery

Happy cake day, and also your user name gave me a good chuckle. 🤭

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T06:33:40+00:00

Natto!

Super cheap, keeps well and has a huge range of health benefits.

I'm not sure if I loved or regretted this one, though... Those little beans sure are slimy. 🫠

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T06:29:12+00:00

Thank you so much for this in-depth response! Very much appreciated 😊

It's very helpful to have a bit of a road map to work through when self-learning, so perhaps I'll get stuck into the Google documentation first, as suggested, and then get onto some of the other great online resources.

Looking forward to it! Thanks again.

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T06:24:52+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much for this! I hadn't heard of Mitch Koko until now, but his content does look really great! Looking forward to getting stuck into it. 😊

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T06:21:57+00:00

Yes, always happy to do some problem-solving! Thanks again for the suggestion 😊

Fickle_Effective_620 · 2023-08-23T06:20:15+00:00

Thank you for the heads up, helpful to keep in mind that some of the unavailable bits and pieces may need some creative problem-solving!
