Where was your last holiday?
It was last August 2023, my family embarked on a memorable vacation to Japan, marking our first international trip without my father. Even though we are a bit emotional, it became an incredible experience. Our journey spanned from Tokyo to Osaka, capturing moments through countless photographs. Being avid anime enthusiasts, my sister and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to explore Akihabara and the renowned Pokemon Centre, adding an extra layer of delight to our adventure.
