As I wait for the next train to Sonogi, I decide to take a walk. These school girls couldn't help but keep looking back at me once they realized I was behind them. Damn blonde hair gets them every time. Lol #jrtravel #jrailpass #acceptance #japan #travel #multiethnic #gradlife #blondeinjapan #journey #fl2japan @jrailpass

As I venture back to my hostel after an amazing interview with a girl named Sophie, I feel a sense of satisfaction. With each interview it becomes more apparent why my project is so meaningful. I am beyond words that I get to meet some amazing people in this process. I almost wish I could do this forever. I want all of you to know you touch my heart ❤️ as you tell me your stories. (The pics are from the Line store and the neighborhood as I walked back). #plur #touched #multiethnic #journey #fl2japan #travel #japan #grad #love # grad # FIU #acceptance #jrailpass #jrtravel @jrailpass

After a day of looking at local temples I stumbled on to a mall and look what I found. The cutest cafe ever. Check out my breakfast/dessert for dinner. I'm so excited. I kept seeing these large toast advertised I am so glad I waited till the Moomin Cafe. You get to pick who you want to sit with you and everything. #travel #fl2japan #journey #japan #plur #moomin #jrailpass #jrtravel #kawaii #gradlife #grad @jrailpass #desserts #cafe #fiu #childrensbooks

Loving Day picnic in Yoyogi park, Shibuya, TOKYO. Group pic thanks to Tetsuro from Hafu2Hafu project. It was a pleasure having the chance to meet everyone and hear your stories. The excursion to Shibuya was fun. Thanks gentlemen. I hope to see all of you in the future. #travel #fl2japan #journey #japan #plur #hafu2hafu #multiethnic #yoyogipark #TOKYO #jrailpass @jrailpass #japantravel #shibuya

After about seven hours of traveling, 2 subways, 2 Shinkansen's lots of stairs carrying luggage and walking between them all, from Shinjuku Tokyo... I made it to Fukuoka, Kyushu at the very southern part of Japan. Time for a shower and food. Temple is one of three I passed on my way to the hostel. The hostel has a very industrial feel. Pretty cool. At the moment I have a 6 person female room to myself. I hope it stays that way. 🤞🏻#gradlife #japanrailpass #jrailpass #plur #japan #journey #fl2japan #travel #FIU @jrailpass

Day Out and About

Dying for kitsune udon for the last few days. Tonight I had it. In the Toho Cinemas building was an awesome little udon place. Even got a eggplant tempura to add in. Was going to go to a movie but all the movies I wanted to see would of had me waiting around an hour. Oh well next time. Having some complimentary ice cream at my hotel. Loving Day picnic tomorrow in Yoyogi park. #japan #godzilla #jrailpass #japanrailpass #grad #udon #udonnoodles #plur #shinjuku #Netcafeboith

Day 1- repeated...lol

Ok so since I arrived back in Tokyo, I have taken the Skyliner Airport Express train, found my capsule hotel, slept for many hours, found some food, briefly went shopping, found a hidden temple where I prayed for a friend who recently passed and my mom, saw my name on a billboard, spent hours emailing people regarding my project in the net cafe at my hotel and am now eating connivence store dinner. Which rocks by the way. Phew. I would have done more but it was raining all day and I bought a $22 folding umbrella by totes. No I couldn't just buy a cheap clear one. I had to be fancy. #plur #journey #grad #japanrailpass #jrailpass #fiu @jrailpass #famous #Japan #japantravel

Phew...Made it after having to change flights at LAX. 10 hours later and I'm tired of sitting. A little more to go. On to my next destination for the weekend. Last minute decision for a bit of fun before the seriousness kicks in. #Japan #journey #grad #plur #ultrakorea
