Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple

Greetings,

This past weekend, I took yet another adventurous trip to the Swaminarayan Akshardham Temple, an absolutely intricate and elaborate temple! Never in my life have a seen a more beautiful place than that of Akshardham, too bad I was not allowed to enter with cameras or take pictures. Anyone that ever goes to New Delhi must must visit this place, and also take part in the Exhibitions that they offer (3 for 170 rupees or $2.90) The shows are absolutely incredible as well! with moving figures telling the story as you frolic around from room to room enjoying each mini play. The second show was my favorite! It was like going to Disneyland's "It's a small world" ride, you get a boat and enjoy some of India's history on a voyage through decorated caves. This was the last place for me to visit in New Delhi and my trip to India, and it was absolutely fitting to the "save the best for last" saying. I am now finishing up my Advocacy Case Study document at my internship, and doing some finals edits, last week I finished an analysis on quantitative data, with a report of 100+ pages...am I exhausted yet? yes. Public Health work is no joke! but this experience has definitely prepared me for my future career and I am excited to keep learning especially this coming year. I am ready to come back to Oregon and further explore options in my career, hopefully finding a job soon and still getting a chance to volunteer somewhere. I am also very nervous and ready for the next step in my life. I have learned a lot about India's culture and people, and I will miss it.

Koyo

"Before it's your favorite place, it's a place you've never been " It is Koyo ( the changing color of the leaves, autumn) season! I have always loved the fact that Oregon gets 4 seasons. Japan gets four seasons as well! The bright oranges and reds are just incredible here. I have been revisiting some of my favorite spots around my new town to see how they change with the seasons. Here are some pictures at Jogakura Bridge.

Ya'll asked for it so here it is: My 10 day itinerary for The Philippines.

Twin lagoon. Oh boy was it hard to pick what Islands I would explore. I had been waiting to visit this beautiful side of the world for soooo long and I kept putting it off because the planning for it is difficult. The Philippines is composed of over 7,000 islands and transportation from island to island is not that simple or convenient at times  depending which ones you want to see). But guess what I finally made an itinerary and it worked out perfectly and now I am back. I still can't believe I checked off The Philippines from my country list. I will be back one day to explore more for sure! Before embarking on this journey I knew it would all be beautiful but once there it exceeded my expectations. If you love nature, beaches, waterfalls, cheap food and learning about a new way of life this is a must country to visit. I did a lot and saw a lot below I will do a little bit of my favs.  My favorite activities where: Swimming with whale sharks Canyoneering Kawasan...

Okinawa Get-Away

" Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer"-Unknown Heart shaped rocks in Oki Well I finally checked off one of the prefectures I wanted to visit off my list. Okinawa, Japan it has been called the Hawaii of Japan by many tourists. I have been to Hawaii and I agree that it is the paradise of the country. I went with my friend Anna and a new friend that made (friend of Anna's) Ben. We rented a car and three different AirBnB night accommodations while we were in Okinawa, at it was the best decision we made because we got to see everything we wanted to see! Granted the Island is not that huge but still, we checked off our lists.  Rainbow and unicorn bagels at Caracalla. Our first stop was Caracalla bagels, and boy was I glad we got our hands on these colorful bagels...because they had the last 3 when we got there! They sell out everyday and we went on a Thursday thinking we wouldn't have that issue. Phewww that was close. Lowkey (thanks Ben...
