Updates and Possible Travel

Heya all,

So recently things have been going okish, I'm translating stuff for a site. (Not professionally mind you but hey it is practice. Yay fan-translating). Basically it is a sci-fi horror story site called the SCP Wiki/The Foundation. They are a fake organization that contains and studys strange paranormal things. The SCPs are Special Containment Procedures on how to handle these things. The original story was about a thing made of concrete, rebar and spray paint that unless kept in direct eye contact at all times would kill you by snapping your neck. Again a horror story site concentrated on writing the stories.

And I am translating that into Japanese. It is actually quite a challenge. But it is also great practice. And don't worry I am also translating more positive things as well so I am not going completely creepy on everyone. 

Anyways,

So I got a package from my parents this morning! It had tea, a pez dispenser, and some things I had asked for that I am positive will help me. I am so excited. I showed the tea to my Japanese friends (Blackberry Pomegranate Green Tea) They thought it was juice and said it was very sweet.

My parents also told me to travel and not be afraid to do so due to money which was my main fear as to traveling. I was planning on staying in Nagoya and going to temples in the region and restaurants and museums.

I still don't think Okinawa is an option. Or at least not in Summer (I might try in fall) This is because the flight alone to Okinawa is expensive!!!!

But I might try to go into school tomorrow and talk with the travel agency about going to Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, or a place where I can go to Mount Fuji or Aoikigohara.

YES I know Aoikigohara is the forest of death. But at the same time there are some interesting places like the caves and trails. Just because a lot of people commit suicide there doesn't make it a bad place just look at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Maybe I can try to make my way back up to Gujo but I think I want to see a new place this time around. Really explore explore. Go someplace new not someplace old. Or go to the beach. That would be nice.

What do you guys think? Any place special I should try to go to? My Mom is right, this is a once in a lifetime chance and I really need to take control and go for it.

I just don't know where to go. Really this place is huge and I just need to figure out where is a good place to go. I am going to more Hanabi festivals. More places for me to wear my Yukata. I will probably blog more later but for now I NEED IMPUT.
