The Great Purikura Adventure


In my first week of school, I befriended a group of eight girls in my class. We always eat lunch together. One day in my first week at school, they asked me what my favorite Japanese food was, and somehow it came up that I had never been to purikura (Japanese photobooth). Apparently this was surprising to them. The next day at school they suggested that we go take purikura, and then go out for okonomiyaki (my favorite food) after. It was just such a sweet idea, so I kinda have to share the outing.

Kokubunji, Yukata, and Rotary Orientation


Hey everybody! I thought I would update you guys on what I´ve been up to lately! The other day, I went for a little walk outside. I didn´t really have a plan, I just wanted to get some fresh air and get an idea where everything is in town. Suddenly I saw this entrance that clearly was apart of a shrine. So of course I go in. Later I found out that I visited Kokubunji, one of the many shrines of Takayama.

Arrival In Japan


I just finished my second day in Japan! So far it´s been amazing, but I´ve been super busy from the get go. Yesterday I arrived safely in Nagoya Airport without problems.
