Japan

Using a 2 week university exchange program as a platform to launch into a 9 week exploration of Asia.

Most importantly, a WHITE CHRISTMAS

This photo encapsulates (pun intended) the deep level of appreciation experienced when visiting an iconic piece of architecture that I had studied. Although there are more impressive buildings I see regularly, this was the first time I had spent extended time researching a particular building/ movement, to standing in front of it. R.I.P metabolism.
