An unexpected pilgrimage to a holy shrine
"The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." I travel a fair amount for work, and that means I'm accustomed to making rather meticulous travel plans, leaving very little up to chance, since no one wants to tell their boss they messed up an expensive work trip due to an avoidable mistake. Basic things include ordering a local SIM card and exchanging currency in advance, rather than running the risk of not finding reasonable options at the airport upon arriving. That might also mean looking up restaurants beforehand rather than just walking around randomly, and pre-planning public transportation options and routes. Work habits are hard to shake even on vacation, and so on my recent trip to Japan to attend BABYMETAL's Legend MM concert was no exception, as I had everything planned out perfectly!
