4 months in Japan: updated bucket list

Time flies like an arrow...  actually, more like a shinkansen. (High five for the super obvious Japan related metaphor).

So I've been here 4 months. and since I'm super behind with blogging, I can't do a link round up of last month because none of those posts have been written yet... whoops. 

So I thought I'd look to the future instead with an updated bucket list:

Basically, the more I am here, the more places I want to go to and I know I'll never have time for it all. Got to try and fit as much in as possible though!

Phew, what a list. that's the only problem with being an exchange student... there are so many better things to do than study! 

Jokes aside, my exams are coming up next month. and I need to buckle down, study and start being efficient again. Wish me luck! I hope y'all are doing well in any studies/ endeavours at the moment :)
