  • 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…

  • Japan | UniQlo and Le Jazz

    Waking up is getting a bit harder everyday, my lack of sleep is catching up to me and it is pretty bad. I made french toast for breakfast and it woke me up a bit (I made sure to put a bunch of sugar!) Then I went off to catch my bus. I am very…

  • Japan | New Yukatas and Friends.

    The only reason that I woke up at a decent time today was because my dad texted me about 6:30is (maybe) telling me to wake up. (How did he know I was still asleep? Beats me). I woke up a little stressed because my video did not process while I slept so I had to…

  • Japan | Taiko, Karaoke and Omurice

    I woke up at 6:20, but laid in till 6:35ish. I want to have a day where I can sleep in for a good 10 hours, but that would a total waste of my time in Japan! For breakfast I had the mighty toast and eggs once again! (Thank the lord I don’t grow sick…

  • Japan | Nijo Castle

    I think my sleep deprivation is finally catching up to me. Today I was suppose to get up at 6:20 once again, but I had a lie in till 6:40 because I could not get my eyes to stay open. It was bound to happen eventually, but I hate feeling so bleh in the mornings.…

  • Japan | Arashiyama

    My day was suppose to begin at 6:20 but I stayed in bed till 6:30ish. I don’t know why, but this morning I was so tired that later I had a hard time staying awake in class! (I even slept on the bus to Ritsumeikan!). For breakfast I had leftover pancakes and scrambled eggs. (At…

  • Japan | Ritsumeikan Baseball Game

    Today I woke up at 9:30 and lazied around till 10. Sleep is a great thing. I made pancakes for breakfast and they were so American that I felt like I was back home. Around noon I headed off to a baseball game. It was Ritsumeikan against some other university. Baseball is the only sport…

  • Japan | Maiko experience

    My day began at 8:30ish, but I tried to sleep go back to sleep for an extra half hour because my roommate forgot her key and needed me to open the door for her the night before (she returned at 3am….so I slept for about five hours…maybe?). For breakfast I made a saltless omelet and…

  • Japan | Kiyomizu Pottery and Temple

    Like days prior, my day began at 6am. I woke up, made breakfast, skyped my parents and headed to Ritsumeikan. I am still in the wrong Japanese class and I spoke to the professor of the next class and she said that by next week I can MAYBE switch. I do not know how I…
