I went back a while ago and saved all my status updates so I could relive the events that weren’t blog-worthy and couldn’t be or weren’t captured by my camera. If you were my friend and regularly read your facebook feed while I was gone, this will all be familiar. If you weren’t, didn’t, or [...]
Here’s the rest of my Tokyo adventure story. The part of the Tokyo adventure story that actually takes place in Tokyo. Almost there, I promise.
