Hi, everyone! Over the weekend, Joe and I went to the HIGHEST mountain castle in Japan: Bitchu Matsuyama Castle (備中松山城)! We were SO EXCITED to see wild monkeys on the way up to the castle too!

![Santorini, Greece: Backpacking Europe!
After Crete, we spent 2 days on the island of Santorini (as known as Thera/Thira). We stayed in an Airbnb in Perissa by the black sand beaches. Although we were on the opposite side of the island from Oia, its a small island so we could easily take a bus to Fira (the capital city) and then to Oia.
Oia was so gorgeous and I had dreamed of going there since I was young. I imagined what it would be like living there. Weaving through the paths up and down the cliff to run errands. Hanging clothes out to dry in the heat. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), now its over 90% hotels for tourists (which is the top industry on the island). Although Oia is very expensive, we were still able to find cheap gyros to eat. Thank goodness for gyros.
The black sand beaches were located right next to a dramatic cliffside and looked amazing. There were incredibly hot though so we ran as quickly as we could into the water.

![Sonnies Seoul! DAY 1!
Hey everyone! My company had to send me to Seoul, South Korea to get my Japanese Working Visa. Even though I was alone for this trip and a few things went wrong, it was amazing! I visited a Castle, the Folk Museum, and the shopping district on my first day. I also got to eat some amazing traditional Korean street food!

![ARIMA ONSEN & CHINA TOWN: Kobe, Japan (Day 2 and 3!)
We went to our first Japanese Onsen (hot spring) Town! Its one of the oldest in Japan at over one thousand years old! We were lucky enough to find a tattoo-friendly onsen. Onsen here have two types of water: Gold and Silver. We bathed in the iron-rich Gold Water.
It was such a beautiful town to explore! We also enjoyed a traditional Japnese meal of Okonomiyaki, and headed back to Kobes city center to explore their China Town (Nankinmachi)! Kobe has a large population of Chinese immigrants which lead to an amazing China Town! Its the 2nd largest one in Japan! We got to eat some local, handmade soup dumplings (in an incredibly embarrassing manner)!
For our last day in Kobe, we explored the Harbour area and tried Kobe Beef for the first time (but youll have to wait for that video to see it). (^_^)
