Metro System + Imperial Palace Okay, so this is quite surprising, but I actually didn’t sleep for as long as you’d expect. I was losing it the night before – feeling like I might collapse on the floor because of sleep deprivation at any second- unable to process everything I was seeing, there was a […]

This is the beginning of my sophomore year course review- the first class on the first day, and probably as easy as classes will get in my sophomore year. I’m writing this less than a week after trimester 1 ended, and overall I’d say this is as easy as the Tri gets, which is to

LAX to Haneda The ten-hour flight across the Pacific had begun, and we were racing down the runway at a speed that continued to get faster and faster. I started to feel more gravity work on me, and pretty soon we were in the air, racing in the direction of the ocean. I could

Before Leaving I am writing this part about an hour after returning from Japan: WOAH. That was a lot- it lasted only twelve days, but there’s so much to explore and see in Japan that it might as well have taken a few times longer. I have more than enough stories to tell here- I

One last Physical Education class for freshman year… and hopefully the last one I have to do in High School, since I’ll just make the remainder of my PE credits with swim. This class is pretty much the exact same as last time, but this time with a few slight differences. First off, we don’t

This is it. The Finale of VN2023, which took more than 20 days in the real world and about 10 months of writing to finish. We’re pretty much done with the travel now, so the last few days will only consist of hanging with relatives, maybe visiting one or two more attractions, hanging with Mia

One last day of exploring the North… let’s make it count. Today, we were going to Ha Long Bay itself, taking a boat cruise out to see all the islands in the area. If you’ve never heard of Ha Long Bay, you’ve definitely seen some of the pictures that come with it: these stone islands

The trip is gonna be coming to an end soon (Don’t worry, as I write this I’m only four days away from a vacation to Japan, and a JP2024 series is coming up next!) as we now head for another long car drive to Ha Long Bay, which is on the entire other side of

We were headed to Cat Cat Village. First things first on our minds while we were there: Are there cats in Cat Cat village? We weren’t sure, although Koia said there might be some people in the village that raised cats. This village was deep inside the valley, in the middle of all the rice
