My introduction to Japan was an intensive Japanese course at ICU in Mitaka one summer, so walking the wooded paths of the campus to give a talk on world building last month brought back so many memories.

Peddling a mamachari to class each morning through the sweltering summer heat. Learning to unwrap convenience store rice balls. Feeling my first seismic tremor...

Another regular thing you’ll see in Spain, when you aren’t out sightseeing, are people relaxing in bars and cafes, either inside or out. Relaxing with a coffee, beer, or glass of wine and some tapas is one of the best things to do in Spain

There wasn’t much plant life in the last couple of photos I posted but Salamanca does have parks and plants and trees and stuff #spain #salamanca #travel #erasmus #semesterabroad #summerabroad #photography
Even though Salamanca was brimming with stuff to see there were still quiet little corners of the city that were more free of the commotion that defines city life #spain #salamanca #travel #erasmus #semesterabroad #summerabroad #photography
One thing I learned on that first trip to Europe is that it often seems like there’s stuff to see everywhere. Look at the cross right on the sidewalk here (which probably means something) and the church behind the buildings #spain #salamanca #travel #erasmus #semesterabroad #summerabroad #photography #travelphotography
You can’t go to Europe without checking out some of the impressive churches, like this one I went to while studying in Salamanca. And when you’re there make sure to look up #spain #salamanca #travel #erasmus #semesterabroad #summerabroad #photography #travelphotography
This week feels like a Salamanca week. My first trip to Europe was summer between junior and senior year of college when I did a summer semester there #spain #salamanca #travel #erasmus #semesterabroad #summerabroad #photography #travelphotography
