That Girl With A Camera

This has got to be the most physically challenging thing I have done so far. Sports aren't my thing and yet I thought "Let's do this". My friends were crazy enough to agree and the four of us set out to climb Mount Fuji. That's right. Climb. Mount Fuji. At 3,776m, it is Japan's tallest mountain. We didn't hike all the way, we started around 2,000m but it was a real challenge.  Of course, Albus tagged along.  It took us 8hrs to reach the summit and witness a trully beautiful sunrise. Cheers to the Chinese ladies who told us to turn around and witness it at the perfect moment! Contemplating my surroundings and realising I had made it to the top.  These are all unedited photographs. Yes, the morning light made them too bright but I wanted to show you all how it looked, just as close to the real deal as possible. Funny thing: as Albus was posing for the pictures, a group of Japanese people came by and saw him and s...

Japan. Where tradition lives side by side with technology and there is a sense of harmony in the air. Here are some more pictures taken in Tokyo. Nezu Shrine. A peaceful location inside Tokyo's busy life. We could only hear the birds, the sound of the wate in the pond and the trees swaying in the morning breeze.  Time to visit some arcades and travel back to a time where we played Space Invaders , Super Mario and we all had GameBoys. Our time in Tokyo was coming to an end. Can you guess the next stop? M

This summer I went to Japan for two weeks with three friends. Japan is a very interesting country, functional, organised, full of suprises. The trip started in Tokyo. Easy, right? We started with a stroll to get ourselves familiar with this new city. First dinner was sushi and boy was it amazing!!!! Albus had so much fun!  After dinner, we headed out to Shibuya to witness the huge mass of people cross all at once. It was impressive, specially if seen from the balcony of Starbucks. The next day we went to Ginza, Tokyo University and Sensō-ji. The day ended with a climb up Tokyo SkyTree. The view is impressive, specially since we decided to do it at sunset. Sadly, there were some clouds and we couldn't get a clear view of Mount Fuji (but I am pointing towards it). This is it for now. I'll be sharing some more pictures soon, soon!! :) M
