Tokyo, Japan The last three days of the trip weren’t much compared to the previous days, yes there were still a lot of moving around, and visiting from district to district yet most of the time in the days were spent “Shopping.” So we started the day by visiting anime-land, Akihabara.

The Night at Waerebo So as I said in the previous post, as the rain subsided I went out the hut and looked up into the night sky. Now growing up in the city, every time I looked up the night sky I would only see one or just a few stars, but here, clusters

Waerebo, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia We started our trip to Waerebo village by going out to get some lunch to fill up our hungry stomachs from the early flights. So we were taken to a nearby restaurant that served seafood by the bus that was organized, as we were travelling in a rather large group
