Japan | Zen Meditation and Projects
I overslept today. I slept in for about 20 minutes ( I know it’s not a lot but my mornings have routine ). I must have hit okay on the alarm rather than snooze when it first rang at 7:20. Anyways, my morning routine was pretty much the same but at faster tempo. Make breakfast,…

Japan | Pokemon Center and Alice Cafe
My day began around 8am, and I got ready, made breakfast and went out the door. The first half of my day I was around Kyoto temple jumping. I got the stamps for Ryoa and Kinkaku Temples, getting the stamp for both temples took a bit longer than expected but by noon I was back…

Japan | Fushimi Inari
Today I gave myself the luxury of sleeping till 8am. It is such a nice feeling to be able to sleep in, even if it is just two hours more. My breakfast was the same as always, eggs and toast (I’m going to end up bleeding eggs and toast by the end of this trip).…

Japan | Rain, Shopping and Food
My day began roughly at 6:40ish. I do not know what time Michelle entered the room last night but it must have been late, because I did not sense her come in. (Maybe she was being quiet). Anyways, for breakfast I had….toast and eggs…again. I’m starting to get a bit tired of toast and eggs.…

Japan | Ryoajin and Sushi
I actually overslept 10 minutes, which did not aid my already stressed mind. I made a small omelet with toast and got back to studying. My usual getting ready routine grew extremely short, that it was just washing my teeth and face then putting on clothes. I even went to school early because my roommate…

Japan | Geiko, Maiko and Kareoke
My day began at 6:30am (again). With the same routine as the previous days too. Nothing really special, only change is that I didn’t Skype my parents (which was weird). It was raining today, a wet Kyoto is not very fun especially since I walk pretty much everywhere. Thankfully it was just wet and not…

Japan | Day 19
I would be a liar if I said that today was fun. My day, like usual, began at 6:30ish, I got ready, ate breakfast (toast and eggs), skyped my lovely folks, got on the number 12 bus and headed to Ritsumeikan. It might have well been a regular day at FIU (minus the breakfast making,…

Japan | Noh
Today I woke up because my roommate told to get up ( I slept through both our alarms). It was a really productive morning, but 7:25 I was ready, fed, and speaking to my parents through FaceTime. I sorta wish it was like that every day. I even got to the bus stop early…meaning I…

Japan | Osaka
Today was extremely fun! It began around 7:30am where I got up and cooked breakfast and got ready to be out of the accommodations by 8:45 to meet with Mika. We met around 9ish in Karasuma station and got on the train that headed to Umeda Station…aka Osaka. The train ride took about 45 minutes…

Japan | Nara and Kyoto Tower
Today I woke up at 7:30, which is an hour later than usual. (It was fantastic!). The schedule for today was Nara and deer. Nara is really well known for the “Deer Park” they have along with Todai-ji. I was super pump cause I was going to see a bunch of bambis. I went on…
