December 2024 - Japan
Thoughts: Japan is incredibly clean, and its food is damn good. Easily, Japan's ramen and sushi ranks at the top. What ranks even higher though is the respect that Japanese people carry. They were some of the kindest people I have ever met, and there were countless times they made a nice gesture. One more thing, Japan is absurdly technologically advanced. 9/10

New York City
Thoughts: I'm pretty much here annually, as this is where I grew up. I bounce back between Flushing in Queens and Sunset Park in Brooklyn, as those neighborhoods are where my grandparents reside. Of course, I'm in Manhattan much of the time, too. 10/10
