ISEP 2013 Fukuoka, Japan

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.

Fukuoka is an amazing city.
My first meal in Japan was all worth it. Legit Japanese tonkastu.

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

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.

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

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
