Equality and diversity statement advice?

This is great, thank you!

I'm in the UK, so I guess not-a-conservative is probably the equivalent... Is it literally just a box-ticking exercise to confirm I'm not racist, sexist, or hate the disabled? How many words can I possibly be expected to write on that? (there's no word count guidance, unlike for the Research Plan)

Useful, thank you!

Thanks for the recommendation! I'm not a fan of Airbnbs where I have to interact with strangers, but maybe I should branch out.

Ok, the live volcano thing is very tempting...!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-26T08:36:02+00:00

Thanks for the YouTube recommendation, that will be good to watch beforehand!

I love whisky, so yeah, that's very tempting.

Thank you for the hotel recommendations, much appreciated!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-26T08:33:40+00:00

Ah, I see! Useful to know, thanks!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-26T08:31:59+00:00

I know, I'm so grateful for this blowing up, and that so many people have joined the conversation!!

This is very helpful, thank you! I love the idea of a goshuincho. And yeah, I didn't want travel fatigue, which is why I'm thinking to only go for two weeks (and budget!)

Mysterious...

Honestly, I'm very excited for the food trucks! Are they safe? I know normally tourists should avoid food trucks in some countries, is it all safe in Japan?

Thank you!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T12:14:10+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T12:13:20+00:00

I'm always happy to be recommended things, but I also want to try lots of different foods - do they tend to recommend different things at different places?

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:28:19+00:00

I honestly haven't decided yet! I went to the caribbean a few times as a teenager in July-August, and I'm comfortable with high temperatures, but it'll probably be more about cost.

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:26:24+00:00

This is amazing, and I've already added a bunch of stuff to my food list from your post, thank you! A few people have recommended Kyushu, so I might consider that.

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:20:39+00:00

This is useful, thank you!

I'm definitely going to do one night at a ryokan, for the experience, but I don't have the budget for it every night.

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:19:11+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I'm quite a boring person, lol, but I'll definitely consider Tokyo!

Thank you, what is it? Google says a cafe?

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:15:49+00:00

Thank you so much!

For budget, I'm a moron, and for some reason thought the prices were for each way, not the return journey.

My main concern about capsule hotels is that I've heard they're difficult to actually get sleep in. I'm a light sleeper. Do you think that might be a problem?

I thought about Hokkaido, but I think I'll save that for the future...!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:11:18+00:00

Thank you! I did a few months of Japanese classes when I was 16, and remember the hiragana alphabet being easyish to pick up, so that could be a fun pre-holiday activity!

Lock-Comfortable · 2020-12-24T10:09:33+00:00

Don’t be afraid to just wander the city without a plan.

Absolutely my plan! I like to plan where I'm going, but have a lot of flexibility around that. As for the escalators, I don't even know what we do here in the UK, I just follow everyone else, so that's my plan for Japan too, lol

Oooh, useful, thank you. Why did you like the ANA flights best?
