... t really happen, that scenario played on a never ending loop in my head for the rest of the night. Anticipating that the lights will go back once again, i continued on the rest of the night with a internal alarm clock that would go off every 10 seconds. I did finally crash at one point but it did not last. At 7:30 in the morning, we got a wake up call that breakfast was ready. I was exhausted, groggy and did not want to part with the comfort and warmth of my futon bed. That ...

Last day in the Beautiful city

A travel blog entry by i96ssy

It's so sad that this is my last day in Kanazawa! I love it here. It is big but it is still quiet. There is not the busyness that Tokyo has however it is still large enough to have many great shops. The visit here is the most I have ever spent! I had a massive spend out but I am happy with what I got. Before we went shopping we took a trip to the Kanazawa gardens which were absolutely beautiful! They were so green it was amazing! It was so peaceful and serene. ...
