i am trying to watch mushishi again (made it through the first few episodes / chapters of the manga but it is so creepy to watch/read alone because some of the scenes really freak me out, i am SUCH A WUSS)! and i will always associate the soundtrack with the finnish summer, especially during the midnight sun.
re: travelling, i am only recently starting to come to terms with being a tourist instead of a Traveller. i still feel super awkward and self-conscious whipping out a big-ass camera and taking pics, especially from weird angles :/ and travelling alone is indeed liberating but kinda terrifying too, especially as someone who dreads approaching strangers in the first place. add a language barrier and... eek, i would probably have more cool experiences if i have moral support along! although i still feel like an idiot then.

oh man i don't blame you, episode 2 of mushishi definitely freaked me out. but i think it gets less creepy and more just melancholic/otherworldly later on! the soundtrack always felt quiet and cold to me, so it's interesting that you'll associate it with summer now.
luckily i have a consumer model, not a DSLR. :p and yeah, moral support definitely helps. i do unfortunately end up badgering my travel partners into doing more of the talking, unless we're in a country where i know the language and they don't.

as for the soundtrack, i think i associate it with summer here because of the endless stream of light, and the abundance of nature/forests/green -- both of which feel very surreal and atmospheric (and yes, otherworldly) to me, just like the soundtrack itself. and summer here is quiet and cold :D
i am usually beaten (not physically!) into speaking to strangers by my mum and aunt, who cannot understand my reticence and have no qualms approaching others for assistance despite their inferior language skills. >.
