Tokyo: Cafe Culture

Anywhere you go in Tokyo you are bound to find a multitude of cafes. And not all of these cafes are your normal coffee shops. There's maid cafes, cat cafes, manga cafes, and even owl cafes. Going to a cafe in Tokyo is an experience all in itself. Whenever I went to a cafe I knew it was going to be something unique. There is so much thought put into the atmosphere and the layout of a cafe and you can really tell that they pay attention to detail. There was one small cafe that I went to that looked like an actual forest. There was a tree in the middle of the store and it was the cutest thing I had ever seen. Not only did the place look nice, but the food was amazing as well. Time and time again I was amazed by these Tokyo cafes. So amazed, in fact, that a friend and I decided that we would try to go as many different cafes as possible. We wanted to see what the possibilities were, and we were not disappointed.

As I mentioned before not only will you find normal cafes, but also niche cafes. It's been talked about many times on the internet about cat cafes and the fact that you can drink coffee while petting a cat. Yes, it's as amazing as it sounds. It's so cool that the Japanese people came up with this idea of being surrounded by one of the greatest animals in the world while drinking a coffee. It's so creative yet such a simple concept. You will find foreigners and Japanese alike enjoying the wonderful atmosphere of the cat cafe.

Tokyo cafes are something, I believe, that can not be found anywhere else in the world. I could describe hundreds of more cafes, but I think you should experience it for yourself. If you are ever in Japan make sure to take a tour of Tokyo cafes. You will not be disappointed.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
