Cycling and Sightseeing – Part 1
This post is now a two-parter. I don’t exactly know how it ended up being so long, but it is what it is. Enjoy! TL:DR Cycling in the Japanese summer is killer, but fun, and I explored Nagoya castle, downtown area, ate the world’s best pizza, and visited the zoo. Turns out there is a […]
