My Visit to Japan

“Traveling is an adventure.” Amongst my most interesting ones was my visit to the peaceful country of Japan. I journeyed there to visit my husband who was living there at the time. I had a few encounters that I thought were interesting. The journey was long and exhausting. I was the only Jamaican on the plane; everyone else where Asian.
