Jeju Island can be reached via plane or ferry from mainland. Unlike a lot of places the airport is close to Jeju City making it easy to get downtown and start exploring. We took the bus, bus number 100. The buses in Jeju don't take cash bee, so first I ran off to a convenience [...]
After getting home from my tour of Laos I essentially did nothing but sleep for days, eventually went back to work to finish up the school year and moved back into my apartment.

Around lunch time on my teacher trip all of my coworkers filed off our bus except one other teacher and myself.

The last part of the Sunrise Tour was to Lake Ashi or the Hakone Lake. We spent the time on our bus solving puzzle boxes and being rewarded with candy, and trying futively to snap pictures of Mt.

My summer didn't quite go as planned. But luckily it included a bit more adventure. When some of my summer plans fell through I got into contact with a friend who was interning in Tokyo and who (pretty much as soon as she got in Tokyo) kept telling me to visit. So I bought a [...]
