St. Louis Trip

I went to St. Louis for my last fall break. I didn't know almost anything about the city...but I liked it there very much.

The city was filled with fans of Cardinals when I went there.

Picture 1: Grand Arch...We went up there. The view was cool!!!
Picture 2: Bud factory. I am not a big fan of Budweiser but how can you help free beers??

It was a fun trip except the part that I had to do all the driving...

Backpack Trip Plan!!!

Fedex delivered the very two books that I was waiting for yesterday... Lonely Planet!! Central America and South Americaaaa!!!

I am planning to take a backpack trip to Central and South America after I graduate in December. I haven't planned it in detail yet but I want to start my trip either from Mexico or Guatemala and go down to Panama and fly into South America...

I am going to start working in April so I think I am able to travel from beginning of January till middle of March, about 2 months or so.

I am 100% sure though that I would have to have some fights and arguments with my parents...They are really nice people but sometimes worry about me too much...When I talked to my mom about the idea of backpack, her face turned to be blue then red...got furious.

But anyways, if I didn't do this now, then when???
I thought about taking a trip to Europe to see my friends there but there are more accesses to Europe from Japan than to Central&South America. I am sure to be able to have other chances to go to Europe. Plus, it is closer to go down there from the U.S. SO! I have decided to go down to South of the U.S.

This time, in this trip, I know I have to be careful. I am often too careless. And I guess that's why I god my credit card robbed in Paris :( (I can write about what happened later!) I am really excited though, to take this trip. I cannot wait...

Oh, if you have any suggestions or ideas, please let me know! That would be really helpful!

Oklahoman Friends

My Japanese Friedns from Oklahoma came to visit me in Lincoln this weekend :)
Total of four people from there, all stayed at my place. I don't have enough bed or sofa for all of them so we slept on the carpet floor with sleeping bag. It was like a small indoor camping. Fun fun fun.

It was such a sunny weekend that we went to BBQ!!
and bars.

Fantastic weekend...
