I had my first transpacific travel experience alone during the last October break. Needless to say, I was pretty worried.

Welcome to the Philippines and Manila! Chinese New Year has come and gone. We returned from a wonderful (albeit rather cold) week in Japan that we’ll have a very hard time putting into words.
