First of all, really pause. Let Japan come into you. It is a fascinating place. Go to temples – not the noisy ones, but the quiet out-of-the-way ones where you contemplate the meaning of life. Stay in a traditional Japanese inn, where you sleep on a tatami and get the warmest welcome ever (and, if possible, take a gift to your hosts). Eat in restaurants intended for the Japanese, not hotel restaurants. You may not even know what you are eating, but it will be delicious. You will never forget it.

Happy travels and happy holidays!

Never apologize for taking a break and, frankly, no explanation necessary:)
