Still dealing with jetlag
It has been six days since we got back home from Asia, and I am still terribly jetlagged. Yesterday, I was talking about it with a friend, and she gave me a pill that she uses whenever she is jetlagged or needs a good night's sleep. She told me it works perfectly for her.
I tried it last night, and... nothing. It had absolutely no effect on me! I was surprised because she is much taller and bigger than I am, yet the pill seems to have a much stronger effect on her than on me.
Anyway, I woke up at 12:45 a.m. today and tried to stay in bed, forcing myself to fall back asleep, but it didn't happen. Eventually, I gave up and got out of bed. As I am writing this, it is now 3:00 a.m.
Memories of Japan
When I left Vietnam for Japan, I wrote a blog summarizing all the beautiful moments I had experienced in Vietnam. I've been wanting to do the same for our trip to Japan, but between the chaos of getting back home and this stubborn jetlag, I just haven't had the chance.
Below are a few photos that capture some of my favorite moments in Japan. :)
