Last Blog Post!

Hey!

So this is my last blog post - I hope you guys have enjoyed reading! I finished the rest of my time in Karuizawa at the international students conference, which went really well.

I then took the bus back to Tokyo, where I stayed with my uncle for a few days! (Below is a picture I took of a huge crowd taking pictures of a cat on top of an owl statue... I think the people are more amusing than the cat)

... Anyways! Some highlights of my time in Tokyo include coffee at Misuta Donatsu (mister donuts), visiting my old school (the day before classes started some people got together to pray for the school year), and hanging out with my way cool cousin:

Mister Donuts was celebrating 40 years of... donuts... so we joined in the festivities at an exhibition centre:

In case you were wondering, now I'm back in Vancouver (finally!). I flew back yesterday from Narita Airport I thought it would be interesting to do a breakdown on distance travelled (excluding intracity travel):

Shinkansen (3613km), Express Train (1134km), Bus (1389km), Airplane (15146km), Car (80km) = 2262km

and a breakdown of locations I slept at (overnight only - in order of travel)

Airplane (1), Tokyo Dome Hotel (4), House in Higashi-Kurume (2), House in Chiba (5), Ristumeikan Student Residence in Kyoto (4), 'Business Hotel' in Hiroshima (3), Inn in Nagasaki (3), Highway bus travelling from Osaka to Tokyo (1), Internet Cafe in Sapporo (1), Night Train travelling from Sapporo to Aomori (1), Inn in Otsu (2), Highway bus travelling from Kyoto to Tokyo (1), Union Church in Karuizawa (1), Attic of Cabin in Karuizawa (6), Apartment in Tokyo (4) => 39 Nights

Thanks so much for keeping up with my blog! If you are in Vancouver, I look foward to seeing you sometime soon!
