Hey everyone!

I'm a current student at Columbia University in New York taking a year off to gain work experience, practice my writing, and do some exploring. I'm currently at the tail end of a three month stint in Japan-- spent mostly in Asakusa, Tokyo. I decided to come to Japan to practice my Japanese language skills and immerse myself in Japanese culture, which I've been a fan of as long as I can remember. My two favorite things about Tokyo are probably the food and the architecture-- you just can't go wrong with either! I love to wander the streets and alleyways looking for new and exciting hidden places... the more you look the more you find.

Amazing! I had no idea there was such a big and beautiful Buddha-- I'll definitely check it out the next time I'm in the Tokyo area.

This is a great resource-- last time I was in Japan I really wanted to reach some of the outer regions (Hokkaido, Ryukyu) and the bullet train...
