Sightseeing

  • Weekend Getaway

    江ノ島と鎌倉 This weekend, Sam, Sienna and I took a weekend trip to Enoshima Island. We had planned this trip for a few weeks now after Sienna had visited with her mom and wanted to take us. She booked a hotel for us to stay at so that we wouldn’t have to rush back to the Read more

  • Africa Heritage Festival

    アフリカの味 We went to another festival! ( ^ω^ ) It was actually a dual festival. The Reggae & Cuisine Jamaican Festival and the African Heritage Festival held in Yoyogi Park. Aicha was the one who found it and asked if me and Sam wanted to go. Umm? Absolutely! I didn’t know that there was such Read more

  • カラオケに行きましょう Yesterday, I tried Karaoke for the first time. Sam has been wanting to plan to do this for a while now so that the exchange students can hang out. To be honest, it’s not that I didn’t want to go…ok maybe a little. I’m just not a singer and I fully intended to just Read more

  • Halfway Point

    二月間後で We’re officially in June! I’ve been in Japan for two months now and I have two months left, so I thought I’d give a little update about class, friends, and my journey so far. Classes for starters are hard. This past week has honestly been a little rough, because everyday I’m studying or taking Read more

  • ハローキティと友達 Today, I visited Puroland with Sam and Licca! Now, to be honest, I didn’t really know where we were going. I had never heard of Puroland and just said yes to going out lol. Basically, Sanrio Puroland is an indoor amusement park centered around Hello Kitty and all her friends. Licca wanted to open Read more

  • 次は秋葉原 Finally back out and exploring Tokyo again! Class felt so long this week, and with all my homework, I felt like I haven’t been able to do anything besides study, sleep, and go to class. The next place on my list of places to visit was Akihabara. I did a little pre-research courtesy of Read more

  • 日本の美し自然 I’ve been a proud member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. since spring 2022. One of the best parts about being in the organization is all the lovely and amazing women I get to meet who honestly take care of me like I’m their own child. When I went to California last summer, I Read more

  • Puppy Paradise

    犬カフェ On Monday, Sam and I went out for Golden Week. Monday was the day after Children’s day, so we had no class again. I feel like I haven’t been to class at all at this point lol. Sam wanted to visit a dog cafe. In Japan, these animal cafes are a pretty popular attraction. Read more

  • 次は浅草 It’s Golden Week, so today I had no class which means….exploring another part of Tokyo! I think I’ve been feeling a bit homesick lately, and I didn’t think it was a good idea to sit in the dorm all day. I decided to visit Asakusa for a change of scenery and a different atmosphere.

  • Next station is: Shibuya

    次は渋谷 My feet are literally on fire after today ( ;∀;) I’ve never walked so much in my life. This weekend is leading up to the start of Golden Week, so I have no class Monday April 29th or Friday May 3rd. Golden Week is a national holiday in Japan, and according to one of Read more
