One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Japan, I drank tea with my hosts grandfather, an elderly man around the age of 80. We drank at a Shinto Shrine. His friend, a monk (priest?) played songs on a Shakuhachi(It looks like a flute). It was very peaceful- Dec. 2007

Climbing the Eiffel Tower. That was awesome! I still have the ticket I bought to go up the stairs!- Jan. 2012

My first Time visiting a Masjid (I was in Taiwan), Islamic dedication is amazing to me. Learning about that lifestyle makes me have great respect for Muslims. No drinking, No smoking, No unhealthy food, Prayer five times a day... So much dedication. And they were very friendly to me as well!- March 2012
