| We were also fortunate enough to have seen and have had a small chat with the mind, the hands, the man behind all of its beauty; Mr. Ben Cabrera himself! |
I absolutely love everything about museums. I love looking at art and admiring it for all of its beauty.
To some people, museums consist merely of rooms with artwork made by unknown people hung up on its walls, but to some of us, there's more to it.
Within those walls are a concoction of stories--ranging from the most beautiful to the most tragic ones, that when entwined create the most beautiful artwork of all:
the artist himself.
At first, it doesn't really hit you.
AN OPEN LETTER TO THOSE WHO FEEL LOST

 |
| Meguro River, Nakameguro Station, Tokyo -- this 7.82 kilometer river is completely lined with Cherry Blossoms and has beautiful lanterns lighting it up at night. It is one of the most famous spots to see Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo! |
 |
| Ueno Park, Taito, Tokyo -- another park that's famous for its beauty during the Sakura or Cherry Blossom season. Despite the lengthy train ride it took to get there and the insane--and I mean insane number of people, it's always worth it to see such a beautiful view. |

| This 18-meter tall Gundam statue is located by the entrance of DiverCity Plaza located in Odaiba, Tokyo. DiverCity is definitely one of the best malls to go to for shopping, may it be clothes, shoes, sportswear, jewelry, make-up, or anything in between. (More information here) |
 |
| DiverCity also has a gorgeous view at night, especially with the Tokyo Tower and the Rainbow Bridge lit up. |
 |
| Tokyo DisneySea, Urayasu, Chiba -- it is not a trip to Tokyo without visiting at least one of their Disney theme parks, right? My family and I decided to go to DisneySea to switch it up a little bit, and also because this particular theme park is unique to Japan. It consists of 7 "lands" of different themes, and has a total of 28 attractions. (More information about Tokyo DisneySea here) |

| Unfortunately, my family and I did not enjoy Tokyo DisneySea as much as we had expected to, mainly because it was jam-packed. Although we went on a weekday, all of the rides had a waiting time of at least 2 hours and a half, so we opted to watch the theatrical shows instead. The other downside was that all of the shows and parades were in Japanese, and there were no English subtitles or translations of anything, so we didn't really understand what we were watching. |
My Japan trip was definitely a check off of my bucketlist! Japan has so much to offer--shopping destinations, tourist spots, good food, its interesting culture and history, and everything else in between. If ever you feel doubtful about visiting the country, especially since it is a bit pricey to get there, I'd definitely recommend going for it. It's worth all the money, I promise!
Thank you Patricia Co for always taking wonderful photographs.
