Volunteer

Today I discovered my accommodation has a rooftop terrace, I walked all around and enjoyed the wonderful peaceful view. As I enjoyed the view I though about my love for children, and how much I love to work with kids. I had the idea to go to the local temple and ask if I could meet with a group of kids weekly to do some kind of learning activities with them. I just came back from talking to a young man at the temple who agreed to gather some kids for me every Thursday at 7pm, I am so excited to be doing something with the local kids next week! Maybe I will be inspired to get let go of the shyness again and go to the local school and ask if I can read to the little ones or something! I am super happy and feel that this will make my India experience even more enjoyable!!!

Yesterday I went to Palika Bazaar an underground Market, it was indeed a "bazaar" experience. The market was a little crowded, but they sold some very cheap souvenirs! (not cheaper than Sarojini market, thought) Close to this market was Connaught Place a large shopping and business center that is a very popular tourist destination, It was very nice and I was able to buy some awesome things for the street vendors there. 


At work nothing new has really happened, except that I am close to finalizing my questionnaire, I just finished the questions and just need to have it revised and approved to move to the next step which shall be to interview people from the town of Babel. As usual work is a little slow, which is why I felt the need to look for places and opportunities to volunteer outside the Health Institute. I might even pick up a Yoga class soon ;)

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...

Tokyo in January

Riding our go-karts on Ginza street I went to Tokyo again, I think I will be going a lot... There is just so much to see and do, and EAT! ( I am 3 hours away on bullet train, 1 hour away by plane, or 10 hours away if I drive)I have been extremely busy and super cold ( Like what I imagine it is like being at The Wall in Game of Thrones ) so I have not been motivated to do much outside of trying to keep warm ( I live in a newer apartment complex and the insulation is horrible....read up about insulation in Japan. It blows my mind. And while you are at that read about heating sources...also interesting...sigh) I hate being cold!!!! .....Sob story over. Anyway on to Tokyo. So this last time I went I spent 4 days in Tokyo. I also went with Akira which was a grand blast! We did the Mario Kart rental and drove all over Tokyo streets! It was AMAZING! I cannot recommend this enough! It as unbelievable, I mean where else in the world can you ride an actual go-kart on real streets? lik...

The Small Island Nation: Taiwan.

The mix of two worlds. Modern city vibes ( Think NYC fashion and busy rushed people on streets) and people still riding all over the country on their scooters (Reminded me of India). Taiwan is one of those countries that is often overlooked and very underrated. I actually did not know anyone that had been here before (except for my friend Gonzalo living there of course) and of all the travel bloggers I follow only one had reviews and recommendations for this wonderful country. It reminded me a lot of  Japan! Even the fashion. Look at this adorable Mister donut, featuring Hello Kitty everything. So happy with out treats!Gonzalo was not impressed. Happy mini donut set! Cutest coffee lid I have ever seen! Dog Cafe! My first Taiwanese Bubble tea, Thanks Chalo! Hello Kitty erthang! Our welcome party feast! So bomb! Rechao, highly recommend.  Gonzalo organized a welcome dinner and a night out for us upon arrival. It was just glorious....
