Traveling alone is also great for oneself so kudos for you for being brave enough to do it. Thinking about traveling alone in a foreign country with language I don't understand is a bit scary to me. XD
There's a lot more activities there now so you will definitely enjoy it. :D
Oh it was very liberating as a newly independent adult, I did it a lot including a month in the himalayas after meeting two random folk in Nepal and decided to go together as a 3. Best memory ever - can't get that kinda thing when always going with familiar folk!
Holy cow, I wouldn't be able to do that. Meeting two strangers randomly and just going with them to a strange place lol. Happy to hear you enjoyed it, it does sound like a great adventure.
