Day 5

60 Day Picture Challenge - Day 5: A picture of your favorite memory


Without a doubt, my favorite memory is of the time when I went to Japan. Everything about the trip was great. Apart from the obvious (that I was in Japan, duh! One of the coolest countries in the world!!!), I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, most of which still play a very active role in my life today (shout-out to all of, you know who you are <3). Anyways, this picture was taken at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. Those of you who haven't had the opportunity to visit Japan may have seen it in the film "Memoirs of a Geisha." It is one of the oldest and most popular shrines in all of Japan, built in reverence to Inari, the god of rice, sake, and prosperity. It's particularly famous for having more than 10,000 torii (gates.)

30 Day Picture Challenge - Day 5: A song that reminds you of someone


I have a very musical memory, meaning that I tend to automatically create strong attachments between memories and songs. Therefore, most songs will have some memory (particularly of someone) attached to them, making it particularly difficult to choose only one. Since the picture post talked about Japan, I decided to continue the theme and picked a song that reminded me of someone I met in Japan. This person made my trip even more special than I ever expected it to be and honestly, I still hold him in very high regard.
