Most Memorable Travel Experience
Spending four months in Tokyo

Watching the sunrise over the water after partying all night at Ageha

Gonpachi!

Eating Japanese curry so hot that I felt lightheaded. It was only a 3 on a scale of 1-10. I wonder if 10 comes with a trip to the nearest hospital :)

Getting lost in Jiyugaoka with Alex, neither of us spoke enough Japanese to ask for directions

Riding the train 10 hours into Kyoto. I would take each local train to the end of its line then get on the next one. So much fun. I will definitely shell out the cash for the shinkansen next time.

Missing the last train to Narita Airport the night before my flight. Then sleeping in one of the private karaoke rooms.

I leap before look...and if there is nothing beneath me then I will enjoy the fall. Which is exactly what I did on the 21st of June when I went bungee jumping!!!!!
