I got to Canada exactly one week ago and I think I've finally settled into the time zone and life here!
Jet lag can be so exhausting, and in my case it was, especially because it was coupled with a stomach bug on the way. It was not a fun trip, but we made it safe and sound, thankfully!
Some of you may remember that I too got married about a month ago and this weekend, my sister just got married too! And no, in case you're wondering, we aren't twins, even though we look and act alike.
The first day of celebration was a boat ride in lake Ontario, which was absolutely stunning!! Here's a cute photo of everyone. I think you can spot me eating somewhere.
(My mom keeps complaining that everytime she looked for me during the wedding, I was always eating something - lol!!)
The main photo is a photo of everyone in my family as well as the groom's - can you tell which one I am? haha!
Here's a photo of just the bride and groom:
So, for the next two weeks, I apologize that my schedule isn't the most convenient for all you early birds living in Asia, but I'll be back to my old schedule right when I get back to Europe ^^
On that note, I wish you all a beautiful August, and cheers to you all from Canada, where I'm spending every night playing a card game called Beriba/Bariba with my family, and eating a little too much.
*I have a very strong theory that most Japanese people are night-owls and not early birds.
What do you say to that? Comment below and let me know if my prediction is correct!* :D
