Here’s an almost 3-year late blog post regarding my first
major Japan experience. Most of the texts in this blog were excerpts from my
personal travel journal.
February 1, 2013
Fukuoka is an amazing city.
My first meal in Japan was all worth it. Legit Japanese
tonkastu.

Getting used o the mode of transportation here in Japan.
Today’s a major walking day.
Fun bus and mall trippin’

Sakura kiss
Successful poster presentation
We meet other Filipino professionals and my thesis group was
selected to participate in an international interview.
Internet is LIFE.
April 4, 2013
Issa made me proud! We had a successful oral presentation.
Funny but, iba talaga pag-galing Science!
First major shopping day!
We tried the giant Ferris wheel at Cha-cha town today
April 5, 2013
Fantastic Kokura castle
I experienced the Japanese Mezza Norte
We rode a random bus ride from Yahata.
I went to hike in the mountains
Onsen, cherry blossoms, sakura tunnel, great Yahata night
adventure.
April 6, 2013
Shinkansen bullet train
Hana-hostel—so Japanese style! And it comes with cute
Russians too
Getting used to the long distance relationship w/ with
family and friends
I can’t wait to bond with my friends in the Philippines.
Strawberry party! Giant strawberries!
We went to Canal city...it’s a Venice-like mall
Shopping like crazy. Bought matching jeggings with my
friends
April 7, 2013
Best pork BBQ in my life. Finally tried Japanese street
food.
It’s 8°C, but we still ate ice cream
I found an adult club named “exciting lips”—made my day
Also, there’s a bar named “Jesus” in Japan
Stayed until Canal city mall closing.
Went to a grocery store. Stayed there for quite a long time.
Subway pub for lunch time.
Purikura awesomeness

couple of years, I’ll be coming back!
