JAPAN
Country Overview:
"A captivating blend of ancient traditions and modern marvels, where exquisite cuisine and vibrant culture beckon at every turn."
My two-week December 2017 adventure in Japan, shared with a Canadian-born-Chinese girl I met in Beijing, was a bittersweet memory. While the city of Tokyo, aglow with Christmas and New Year's festivities, was nothing short of enchanting, the romantic spark sadly fizzled out. Still, Japan's allure remains undeniable. From the serene beauty of ancient temples to the neon-lit energy of bustling city streets, and the delicate artistry of sushi to the hearty warmth of ramen, Japan is a feast for the senses and a journey of discovery.
