When there’s nothing else to do but wait for the next day’s activity…
get a haircut and a new hair colour.
In Japan.
Because apparently simply waiting quietly was never going to happen. 
I had a free day, so I thought:
Why not?
A haircut in a country where I don’t speak the language.
A new colour.
What could possibly go wrong? 
Thankfully, nothing did.
I survived the salon adventure and came out with a completely new look.
Sometimes travelling isn’t only about temples, trains, snow and sightseeing.
Sometimes it’s also about sitting in a salon chair in another country and hoping everyone understood each other correctly.
