    How A Transparent Umbrella Gave Me A Glimpse Into Japan

    15 December 2017 / No Comments

And most importantly, did I leave enough room in my suitcase for souvenirs? When visiting Japan this summer, I opted against taking my usual bright turquoise travel umbrella, knowing the forecast called for extreme heat and little rain.  However, when I got there and right up until the day I left, a gentle mist and occasional deluge followed me around the country, forcing me to look for local options to shield from the rain. I’ve lived in Asia before and find that everywhere I go,…

Philippines As one of the two predominantly Roman Catholic countries in Southeast Asia (the other being East Timor), Christmas has more religious significance in the Philippines.
