Having been to Tokyo a few times in the past, I thought I knew what to expect when arriving at Waseda, located in the Shinjuku district. Streets would always be busy, lights always bright and the faint smell of smoke on every corner. However, what I soon learned was that these expectations came from my…

Life in Japan has definitely lived up to its expectations with the perfect balance of education in a completely different environment, and the freedom to travel throughout the week.
