Things I learned from my trip to Japan

In the beginning of this month, I got the opportunity to travel to Japan. It is such a dream come true I almost cried when I got there. I was there for a week and there are several things that I learned about the country that I would like to share. I don't know if other people will experience the same thing, but from the cities I came to (Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka), this is what I learned

1. It is what like I imagined. It is like in the comics, manga, anime, movies, etc. The streets, the people, everything.
2. The trains will be confusing but you'll get used to it. There are so many lanes, for someone who is not good with directions like me it will be easy to get to the wrong train lol. Thankfully my friend whom I went there with is a good navigator (cheers, Ci! wkwk). Later I learned that it is owned by several companies. Unlike, for example, MRT in Singapore.
3. The people there likes to have matching outfits which when sometimes cute, it can be confusing haha. When I was in Universal Studios, can't count how many people wore yellow shirts and a denim overall dressed up as minions haha. They are also collectors, when I was at Disney, some people bought a whole bunch of Duffy Bear stuff (AND WHO THE HELL IS DUFFY AND WHY IS HE ALL OVER DISNEY).8
4. The people are nice, but it seems like always in a hustle so I got bumped quite often.
5. Everything is futuristic, even the public restrooms lol. Took a minute for me to even figure out how to flush. (Is this a bit TMI, sorry)
6. There is one thing that makes me wonder tho, for a country as advanced as Japan, I'm surprised trash bins is not in  every corner. I have to keep my trash until I find one.
7. The food, omg the food. It's amazing. And sometimes cute too!! I mean, pokemon bento....come onnnnn!!!
8. So.many.cute.stuff when I get into stores I want to squeal.

Anyways, those are some things that I learned. I had an amazing time in Japan and definitely will come back. Next time will be longer.



Why mental health is as important as physical health

Some of you may know these people. They have a good steady job, good friends, good health, have everything figured out, have a master's...
