The jet lag finally hit yesterday and I was not up for as much. That was okay though because we didn't have a lot to do. I thought I was getting sick but my teacher assured me it was not unusual to have the jet lag it yesterday. I thought it was weird that it would take that long to hit.I won't go into detail, but I think the body clock is highly correlated to the digestive tract.

They also gave a lot of career advice and it really helped me with some decisions I've been pondering over to start a career.

The hotel we are staying at is the trendiest hotel I have ever stayed at, even more than the one I stayed at in Beverly Hills! It has a huge spa, a pool with a beautiful ba...

Well I've　made it to Tokyo. The flight wasn't too bad except for the screaming child that kept waking me up (seriously, piercing screams for hours). Why didn't I bring those ear plugs! I'm at the airport waiting for my connecting flight to Bangkok. There's not much to see except duty-free shops and 7-11 type stores. Patrick was right, Johnny Walker Blue is everywhere! I'm not buying anything till the way back tho. I can tell just from the airport how muc...
