ANGELA B. PAN

There are so many great things about Tokyo. The ease of navigating the city, the amazing food, the night life; they all are fantastic. But my favorite part was definietly the people. The people of Tokyo are the nicest, friendliest, most respectful people I’ve ever met. From all the greetings, endless smiles and countless bows, there is a level of immediate respect given to EVERYONE in the country. And with the millions and millions of people living here, you can definietly see this in how clean and orderly the city is. I loved it.

This is definietly the first of many images I took while in Japan. I thought this was a cool intro to the city. Don’t worry, much more to come in the following days 🙂

Paris is one of those places where I gotta go back. There just wasn’t enough time to see everything that I wanted to see including the Grand Arche. In fact, we didn’t even make it anywhere near that side of the city. There are so many things to do, to see, and to eat there there was no way we would of made it over there in the 4 days we had there. I was just thinking about crossiants so I figured an image from the top of the Arc de Triomphe was in order.

Starting to feel a bit antsy. Almost 1 month away from our trip to Tokyo! Can’t wait! If you’ve been there and have recommendations, please let me know. I want to see some cool stuff and eat some good things 🙂

Three things I was grateful for this week:

1. Awesome Arcanum meetup at the National Cathedral. So fun taking pictures with friends.

2. Starting a new book this week but can’t forget about this one.

3. My excuse for sleeping in a little this past week.

One of the best views of Paris is definietly on top of the Arc de Triomphe. That’s if you can make it up all those stairs. I don’t think it’d be so bad if it weren’t so windy but I definietly think it’s worth the trip. It’s amazingly beautiful.

Guess what! Tomorrow is my birthday! August 29th 🙂

I’m one of those people who love celebrating birthdays and I always thought it was really cool that it’s also Michael Jackson’s birthday. Me and the king of pop.

But going through Facebook and things I’ve noticed quite a few of my photo friends also celebrate their birthdays this week. I think that’s so awesome! The way that I think of it, there must be some sort of correlation between creatives and being born around this time of the year. HAHA. Or am I taking this birthday thing a little too far?

Here are 3 things that made me super happy this past week:

1. Early birthday celebrating with the family at Lake Anna this past week. I had a blast just hanging out and soaking in the sun.

2. Wakeboarding! Never in my life had I thought I’d wakeboard but it was super fun. Can’t wait to do it again sometime soon

3. And then THIS!!!

Interrupting your regularly scheduled Utah posts for this Ah-Mazing sunset by the US Capitol last night.
