Hi everyone. I am sorry I haven’t been able to write recently. I just got back to U.S. this week after spending 5 weeks in Japan. I am suffering from jet lag during the last few days. For me, coming back to U.S. is much worse than going to Japan in terms of jet lag. Since we are on a topic of traveling, let me introduce you to some of the Japanese vocabulary related to traveling in this article.<\/p>\n
