Countdown to Tokyo: My Pre-Departure Bucket List
こんにちは! My name is Sara, and I’m a senior at the Universtiy of Puget Sound studying Business Administration and Japanese Language/Culture. This semester I’ll be studying abroad in Tokyo, Japan, and running this photography blog for you to see what I see as I embark on the adventure of a lifetime! This isn’t my first time in Japan, or even Tokyo. In the summer of 2014 I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nikko, Hakone, Hiroshima, and Tono.

Coming (Back) to America
Hey guys! I have to say adaptation to America is definitely something that I'm going to go through. Reverse culture shock is real! In Japan, convenience is king.
