I apologize for not posting about the last couple days, but I’ve mostly been resting with family and relaxing before school next week. As a final hurrah, I am hiking along the Pennine Way near Manchester for today and tomorrow, so I will be out of contact for the most part. However, you can expect […]
Today marks the final day of my planned London adventures. That doesn’t mean to say that my adventures are over, simply that I will need to improvise for the next two days. I saved the best for last in my plan today, that magnificent collection of history that is the British Museum. I arrived just as […]
Starting the day early, I took the underground all the way out to Tower Hill to see the Tower of London. The goal of today’s trek was to start out as far from home as possible, and slowly make my way back while stopping at various points of interest. After crossing Tower Bridge and getting […]
After an exhausting few days, I decided to slow down and actually relax this morning. Most of it was spent simply organizing papers for Cambridge and tinkering with my phone to unlock it. After a quick lunch I set out on a nice stroll through town. Today’s walk led me to Hollard Park, which was more […]
As I mentioned yesterday, there are certain advantages to living in a real family home. One disadvantage however is the morning chaos when everyone is getting ready for the day. After saying bye to my nephews and eating a quiet breakfast, I waited for my cousin to hastily get ready do he could drop my […]
After two action packed days, today moved at a much more relaxing pace. I did not even leave my bed until ten, but soon after I joined Sanjay and his friend Sophie for a simple breakfast. After discussing San Francisco and my experiences with reading ancient literature, I got ready to head out for my […]
After a long day of walking around yesterday, I decided to have a relatively slow morning, finally stepping out at 10 to make my way to Leicester Square to meet my friend Reilly from Berkeley. While we were supposed to meet at noon, naturally I arrived incredibly early and decided to simply wander around town. Eventually, I […]
Since most of yesterday was spent in a plane, car, or flat, I didn’t actually get to see much of London, or England for that matter. After getting an Oyster card from Sanjay to pay for public transit in the city, I walked out my door and jumped right into the heart of London. Today’s […]
Normally a ten hour flight to London is something to balk at, but after traveling to Okinawa during school, and giving up a whole semester to make that 18 hour flight to Australia, this flight seemed rather mundane. In an almost poetic fashion, my Hindu meal was Chicken Tikka Masala, a national favorite in the […]
Greetings to everyone curious enough to visit my blog. Over the next six years I will be pursuing my Masters and PhD in Physics, the former at the University of Cambridge in England and the latter at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) in Japan. I did not intend to travel the world […]
