Places That Reward Staying Rather Than Passing Through

Some destinations give almost everything in three days, and some only start after two weeks.

Every place has a layer built for visitors and a layer underneath it, and getting through takes specific moves rather than time.

Thailand's long-stay geography is straightforward until you account for the two months when the north is unbreathable.

A month somewhere is more interesting with a reason to be there, and a course provides structure, people and a routine.

Japan rewards staying still more than most countries, because the density of what is walkable from one address is unusual.

A month in one place is a different activity from four weeks of travel, and the costs and admin change accordingly.
