This is an edited photo taken in Choshi, Japan, in a small hotel room. I was traveling during the summer on tour with my singing group, and we stopped in this charming city for a series of concerts. The hotel was quaint, with simple mats for beds (and a surprisingly well-stocked mini bar). In the mornings we were served rice and fish, and we frequented the adjoining hot rock sauna. All in all, a memorable time.
I spent the summer of 2009 traveling around China teaching English and SAT prep. It was a wild experience, and I learned a lot about myself during the trip. This graphic spent about three years as the background on my computer, and it was taken at the Emperor’s Summer Palace in Beijing, China.
