Alright, I can finally start updating again. The last WP update broke my website, but now I have decided to go with this layout. So, AZ happened. I really didn’t know what to expect going in. Honestly, the first reason for choosing AZ for missions this summer was the fact that they didn’t have a [...]
The Sleepyfish in Dali, China | Aug 2009
After staying in Osaka for a few nights, I was finally able to go out and explore this city. I liked Osaka a little better than Tokyo just because I thought the people were keepin’ it real here. People were actually bumping into me and not saying “sorry”. Takoyaki, an Osaka specialty or as the [...]
The city, not Bryant. Kobe is a major port city in Japan, and it’s history includes a huge earthquake in 1995. Seeing the place now, you wouldn’t even know there was an earthquake. I got to this city from Nara at around 4:30 PM and since a bunch of places in Japan close around this [...]

Well, I arrived in Japan. Flew in to Osaka, then took a train out directly to Tokyo. Coming from China to Korea to Japan gave me a progression of cleanliness, and all the stigmas that people told me about Japan were pretty true. Expensive, politeness, cleanliness, technologically advanced-ness (in some aspects). However, I was expecting [...]
During my stop in Korea, I decided to extend my layover for a couple of days to hang out with some peeps. More importantly, it was one last time to hang out with the roomies. On the first night we had another Binge Fest: Korean Edition. 1. Good ol’ home cooking at TP’s grandma’s home [...]
I’m back from a month of whole goodness spent in Thailand and China. It’s too much to say here, so ask me about it in person, and I’ll tell you. If any of you students are reading this, I miss you guys! You’re in our thoughts.
