The Writing: Japan Trip

By Renee Yu

I think the Japan trip was amazing and a bit tiring. We arrived in Japan at five o’clock and then took a six-hour drive to our hotel. On the way, we stopped at a resting place and got a drink.

When we arrived at our hotel, the room was a bit boring. I couldn't sleep well and woke up many times because my bed was too small.

On the second day, we bought a lot of snacks and stuff from the convenience stores. The food was so yummy! We had an exciting trip because the whole family was together. It was amazing! I think I could go to many places if I lived there.
