Day 23

 Today wasn’t particularly eventful. I didn’t really do much as I have been sick and didn’t feel up for anything. However, despite how bad I felt I still went to class. I didn’t want to miss our last day on campus because I wanted to buy. 

Before I got to campus, I stopped at the 7-11 to see if the lady who brings a small to my face was there. Sadly she wasn’t. I was really hoping to see her cause I wanted to give her a gift but sadly I wasn’t able to. I could maybe try someday this weekend but I’m not too sure about my schedule yet. 


After that I headed to campus with Ian and Athena. We stopped and talked to Gabe on the way as he was on his way back to the hotel. He was done for the day, because they did not have any after class clubs and seminars for us to attend. 


Once we got to campus, the three of us headed straight to class. By that time I was regretting my decision to go to class. The heat and humidity had sucked all the energy I had out of my body and I wasn’t able to cool off. The lack of strong air conditioning in Japan didn’t help either. 


Once class started I tried my best to focus and follow along. But after trying to do the free writes my head started to work and I could tell that I was done for the day. I tried my best to power through but by the time class was half way done I threw in the towel and just laid my head down. 


Once class finally finished, Ian, Athena, and I walked to the on campus convenience store to obtain the hoodies. There was a bit of difficulty obtaining the right size but after getting over the language barrier and waiting for a bit I finally got the hoodie I wanted (picture below).





With the package in tow, we set out for our journey back to the hotel. It wasn’t much better than the journey there, in fact it was a bit worse. It felt even hotter out as we walked to the station and all I could think about was my bed. 


When we finally arrived back at the hotel I crashed. I honestly don’t remember much after that. The rest of the afternoon/evening was a blur. I know I got food at some point and watched some one piece. But I don’t remember what I ate that night or when I finally went to bed.

Travel Blog 7/28

Today, was a free day, so I ended up using my time to go and visit a local attraction, the Osaka Aquarium. I’d been meaning to visit it, given its notoriety for having extensive exhibits and rarely seen species on display, so I made it a point to set aside the entire day for it. The first thing that I saw at the aquarium was their forest wildlife exhibits, which housed some freshwater fish and some otters. The otters were extremely cute, and I was able to get a closer view of them in another window. The next exhibit had some non-fish exhibits, which was super cool to see. They had seals, dolphins, and penguins on display. I was able to get a really cool photo of one of the dolphins as it swam by. After that was the main event of the aquarium, their big tank and it’s supporting exhibits. The main tank had multiple whale sharks, a manta ray, lots of groupers and some stingrays. They had a tank that was filled with sunfish, which I never thought I’d be able to see alive. They even had a b...

Blog 24: The tale of castles and princesses

  My blog day was the 27th of July. I woke up early that morning and started getting ready at around 7:30. It was the day we were scheduled to go to the famous Himeji castle. So, I met up with the rest of the students at the front lobby on the first floor. There were only a few students there at the time, around 5 or 6, but the rest of them came into the lobby a few moments later. We then went to the train station in Shinsaibashi. Several people got lost on the way, from the trains to the walk over. Then when we made it to the Himiji train station the professors decided that it was time to break for lunch and a few students and I went to an Italian place. At this restaurant I ate a pizza and a bowl of pasta. I enjoyed the pizza however the pasta I ordered ended up being far too spicy for my liking. After that I got a Mint Chocolate ice cream cone from the local Baskin Robbins. After that a small group of students and I headed out to the castle. After a while of walking in the bakin...
