Hey guys!
I'm still in Medieval Japan, obviously. I was speaking with some of the others here and did you know that not too long ago there were invasions from Mongol's here? They came scarily close to taking over this beautiful area.

I also learned about the Samurai and their even better then what you'd think from the movies. Their real and were hardworking warriors, their armor was unique for not just being metal like most armors were, they were a type of fabric that would bend with the swords making it harder to be struck permanently. The samurai have a certain unique code they have to live by which is: Rectitude, Courage, Benevolence, Respect, Honesty, Honor, and Loyalty. They were trained to think ten moves ahead of their opponent and battle swiftly. Japan is such a wonderful and inspiring place! I know I'll have to go back home soon but it's so hard to leave all this beauty!

See you soon!
