The highlight of 2006 was my nearly 1-month scholarship stay in Japan.
It was the last month of winter and like a hibernating bear, I gained 25 lbs due to no exercise!!!
I have yet to write down and recount that trip to various parts of Japan (Osaka, Tokyo, Kagawa Perfecture, etc.). For the meantime, reminisce with me in a photo journal.
Interaction Weekend at Lake Seiko
We stayed at a beautiful hotel near Lake Seiko for one full weekend to interact with the Japanese youth. We were divided into groups consisting of both Filipino and Japanese. During the last day, our group presented a video that showed each other’s similarity and difference in culture -our topic was courtship and marriage.
I got married in Japan (ha ha ha). I still laugh hard remembering the whole shoot. We made use of makeshift props.
What the heck was I wearing? Don’t ask haha. It was fashion catastrophe.
