Vacation from my Vacation

The last couple months teaching hasn't felt like a normal job. I work half the week and explore and play basketball against China at the park the rest of the week. Even with that the end of the semester means it's time for a vacation. Living in China gives me a large selection of countries to travel to in close proximity. 

Oh the places you could go

I already knew months before where I wanted to go, I would head over to Japan and the Philippines.

I will probably blog more in depth thoughts on the 2 countries but for now here is a montage of what I experienced in those countries. First up is Japan, I spent a week in Japan. It came out to 5 days in Tokyo and 2 in Kyoto. Enjoy!

Then off to the motherland, the Philippines. 6 days in Manila and 3 days in Puerto Princessa.
