Recalling the memory from going to Tokyo last month, one of the impressive experience was to find A.J.D accessories shop again (http://www.ajdaccessories.com/shop/shop-list/kitakanto/btb_harajuku/).
We went to Tokyo in June 2014. Back then, we felt that it is very difficult to shop in Tokyo as either the price is too high or the quality is not good if the price is affordble. So we were very happy when we found a shop in Harajuku where the price and quality are just nice.
2.5 years later, we already forgot about that shop as we went around Tokyo. We had just finished trying the food at Dominique Ansel Bakery where we just strolled around. Then we reached into a junction where we flashed back and remember that we were there before. It was then when my wife remembered about the shop. And having been blessed with the talent to find directions just by recognizing the landmark, we managed to reach the A.J.D accessories for the second time. Again, we found some items that are worth buying in terms of the price and quality.
Perhaps that’s one of the beauty of traveling. We just need to go to some place first and then things will be unwrapped later on. Often if we watch show in Amazing Race, we will only get a clue when we reach certain destination. This happens to us as my wife only remembers about the existence of that shop when we were in a junction in Harajuku.
So sometimes in life I have the tendency to overthink as if everything can be predicted from where I stand now. This story reminds me the importance of moving forward and believe that there will be something that may only be found out once we are there.
