5. Visit Japan!!

From when I was young and watched anime, I have always wanted to visit Japan. As I grew up and started enjoying other aspects of the culture (i.e. music, food), my desire to go to Japan increased even more. One of the awesome things I want to do in the near future (hopefully after I graduate) is visit Japan and immerse myself in the various cultural and social aspects this country has to offer.

When I visit Japan, I would definitely start my vacation in the nation capital of Tokyo! After this I would move to other cities, most notably Osaka, Kyoto and Hokkaido. There are several sites and activities I would love to experience including eating a traditional Japanese meal, dressing up in kimonos, viewing the capsule hotels, maid cafes and hot springs. Though, the most prominent thing on my to do list would be to eat....eat A LOT. I absolutely love sushi, and being in Japan where I have access to authentic Japanese food, would be amazing. On this trip there's no doubt I'd come back at least 10lbs heavier then when I left, but it would be worth t to partake in 'real' sushi, mochi, pork buns, bubble tea....the list goes on!

mmmmm, sushi!!
Taro bubble tea is my favourite <3 (the purple one!)
