The trip to Astoria is worth it for the ice cream and frites alone, but it's also one of the cutest and most entertaining places to spend a weekend!  Great quirky shops and endless nature-exploring opportunities!

Universal Studios Japan is a must for anyone visiting the Kansai area of Japan (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, etc). The park offers seasonal events (Cool Japan and Halloween Horror Nights), one of the best roller coasters I’ve experienced (The Flying Dinosaur), and don’t forget about The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Food plays an important part of your day while you’re bouncing from attraction to attraction. The park has delicious, cute, and downright bizarre food to enjoy. Here’s my list of best snacks at Universal Studios Japan. What’s fantastic is that a lot of these are budget-friendly at a cost under ¥600 ($5 USD).

I feel so lucky to live in this beautiful area, i love to walk or bike around to discovering new details every time. This neighbourhood is very lively, with the architecture museum, the art house cinema and lots of cute café's. Every other year this area hosts the international sculpture biennial with larger then life sculptures decorating the streets. I hope you enjoy this walk as much as i do, have fun!

This place is special to me because yes, I am a banana slug! I went to university in Santa Cruz and lived there a few years after as well. There is lots to do in this cute town - hiking, mountain biking, kayaking and surfing. Of course you can also relax on the beach or ride the Giant Dipper rollercoaster at the Boardwalk. There are also lots of tasty eats in town which I didn't include on this map. I guess I need to do another one! :)

A very interesting 1853 (Kaei 6) Japanese world map by Suido Nakajima. Presented on a cylindrical projection, this map marks a significant advancement in Japanese globular cartography and a far more sophisticated adaptation of western cartographic standards than is evidenced in most earlier Japanese world maps. No longer reliant on 17th century Dutch maps acquired via the Dutch East India Company’s (VOC) trade concession in Nagasaki, the Japanese have here abandoned many of the antiquated cartographic notions, such as an insular California, which were common in Japanese maps of the previous decade. Japanese cartographers may have been motivated to update their traditional world view in the light of the explosion of cartographic ideas associated with the arrival in Edo Harbor of the American Commodore Matthew Perry in the same year this map was published. As a whole this map offers a sophisticated cartographic presentation of the world embracing the most up to date cartographic knowledge available in the mid-19th century. Though adapted to the Japanese printing style, this map presents a generally accurate world view. British Claims to Washington and British Columbia are noted in North America, Australia and the Pacific are accurately rendered, as are the discoveries of Vitus Bering and James Cook in the Arctic, and Africa is clearly pre-Speke. The disputed East Sea / Sea of Japan / Sea of Korea is here labeled as the Sea of Joseon (Korea), which some scholars suggests indicates Japanese acceptance of the “Sea of Korea” convention. Four hemispheres appear in the lower left quadrant, from left, the southern, northern, eastern, and western. All are on a stereographic projection. The map is printed on woodblock and hand colored in vivid, blues, greens, oranges, and yellows. A fine example of the redefined Japanese cartography style of the later Tokugawa period.
