Japan!


My last and final destination was Japan. I arrived just in time for the anime convention but that wasn't the only thing  I did. I also went sight seeing in Tokyo, Matsue Castle, Matsumoto Castle, Nagoya Castle, Miyajima, Okunoin's cemetery, Bamboo forest, and Mitsukoshi department store. The hotel I stayed at was the Four Seasons Chinzan-so. It was very exciting and fun. 

The second to last country I went to was Sweden. There I went skiing, I visited the backcountry, Gamma Uppsala, and Eketorp Ring-Fort. The temperature was rather cold that ranged from 9 to 16 degrees. I stayed at the Hotel Rival Stockholm until it was time for me to go to Japan.

I went to my the country of my ancestors, Norway. During my stay I went to the Wild Western Isles, Oslo, and Bergen. I also bought a Norwegian Fjord, which is a breed of horse for $3,200.00. I really had a nice time there.

In Argentina I stayed with my friend Paula. Together we went to Iguza Falls, the beach, Tierra del Fuego National Park, the Andes, and went on the Salta Day Tour. I had a great time and it was nice to see my friend again.

Canada was one of the last few countries I went to. There I went sailing with humpback whales, just plain whale watching, visit national parks, and learn to speak moose (yes you can do that). The hotel I stayed was the Post Hotel. The weather was 10-13 degrees but I still had fun.

Chile was the next country I visited. There I went skiing in Valle Nevdo Ski Center, visited a hot spring, the Aculeo Lagoon, La Campana National Park, and Torca Lagoon National Reserve. I stayed at San Cristobal Tower and I had a great time.

Another country that I went to was Australia. There I did many things such as go to the opera, swim in the Great Barrier Reef, go on safaris, surf, and dining. The hotel I stayed was a beautiful hotel called Le Meridien Bora Bora. This was another one of my favorite countries.
