New Entry
Oh my! It's been a while since I've been back on here. Lately I'm more into other social media sites so this one just kind of died. It's nice that I was still able to login. LJ was one of my very first "social" websites. It brings back all kinds of nostalgic feels. -
Japan Loot
Instead of randomly placing pictures of the goodies I bought in Japan throughout my other journals, I figured it would be better to devote a whole journal to them instead.

Japan Trip: Tokyo Day 6
It's my last day in Japan. So sad. T.T We were not scheduled to leave until the afternoon so in the morning, Sensei took us to visit memorial shrine for WW2. We went and looked around at the museum there. Once we were done, we were free so Nini and I stopped by a restaurant and ate lunch. For my last meal, I chose curry. Then we took a quick look ( Read more... ) -
Japan Trip: Tokyo Day 5
It's our last full day in Tokyo. Sensei allowed us to celebrate it by giving us a free day. Nini and I bought a day pass for the train since we planned on cramming in as many stops as we possibly could! >w< With these passes, we could use the train as much as we wanted without having to pay extra.
Our first trip was to try to find the Square Enix ( Read more... ) -
Japan Trip: Tokyo Day 4
Our schedule has been pretty much mixed around since we got to Tokyo. Today we are taking the Hato (Dove) Bus Tour which was actually scheduled for the first day we came to Tokyo. But I'm not complaining. We got up early in the morning to take the train to Hamamatsucho. It's far from Idabashi and it was conviently at the same time as the ( Read more... ) -
Japan Trip: Tokyo Day 3
It's a repeat of yesterday. We started off by visiting Waeseda University. It's one of the most prestigious schools in all of Japan. We did not interact with the students there, but we were given a tour of the campus. The campus buildings had a very European feel to them.
We ate lunch on the campus and then we made our way to our next stop, the ( Read more... ) -
Japan Trip: Tokyo Day 2
For our first real day in Tokyo, we were scheduled to visit Obirin University to give a presentation to the students there as well as interact with them in general. It took us quite a ways to the edge of Tokyo. We ate lunch at the University, got to make friends with some of the students, and then we were given the rest of the day off. We had no ( Read more... ) -
Japan Trip: Tokyo Day 1
Yay! We're finally leaving for Tokyo today! So its basically a travel day. From Kyoto to Tokyo we're taking the bullet train. We took a bus to the station and ate lunch at the station. I had some sushi. Then we boarded the bullet train which allowed us to arrive in Tokyo within 2 hours. This bullet train is actually the fastest in all of Japan. I ( Read more... ) -
Japan Trip: Kyoto Day 3
We woke up this morning to find that it was snowing. I've only ever seen snow once and I've never actually seen it snow. It was so beautiful. But it didn't last for long. For today, we tried to pack in as many historical sites as we could. We each got an all day bus pass since that was our primary form of transportation.
Our first stop was a shrine ( Read more... )
