Nagasaki’s Megane Bridge aka Spectacles Bridge
There’s a popular bridge in Nagasaki, called Megane Bridge or Spectacles Bridge. While it may seem like just another bridge, there’s a reason why this specific bridge is popular. The bridge has been around since 1634 and actually looks like spectacles. As long as you view the bridge from a place where the river shows a clear reflection of the bridge, you’ll be treated to the sight of spectacles. It might not seem like a biggie for us, but it probably was a big deal to people in the past.

I wanted to like Japan
I wanted to like Japan. Really, I wanted to… In this blog post, I’m going to be honest about MY experiences and MY true feelings on Japan. In caps because I feel it’s necessary to emphasize the fact that my experience isn’t going to be the same as another foreigner’s experience yet it should be validated nonetheless.

Manko Waterbird and Wetland Center
I like free so when I learned that I could visit the Manko Waterbird and Wetland Center for free, I went for it. The thing is that it required a bit of trekking, sidetracking and cautious crossing to get there. If you have a car, you can be there in a jiffy. If you’re going by the Yui Rail, it might take some time to get there, but it’s do-able, nonetheless.

Traveling without Deodorant
You can be the greatest packer in the world yet somehow forget to bring that one body essential along with you on a trip: deodorant. How can you forget deodorant, you ask? Let’s just say it can happen. Even when it’s packed, you might find yourself in need of new deodorant if your deodorant fails to function the way it should once in a different environment. So, if you find yourself in need of deodorant but the country you’re in doesn’t sell the deodorant you need or worse, doesn’t even have it in stock, this blog post is for you.

Online Shopping Abroad
One night, while I was in Japan, I had this sudden urge to do some online window shopping. I had been wanting to buy a sweater or two but couldn’t find any for cheap in Japan and thought for the heck of it, I’d check out how prices were faring in the states. Uniqlo was a store I decided to check out.
