I've been wanting to travel to Japan again after my trip to Kyoto and Osaka in 2016. My family and I were all set to go again this March however some unfortunate things happened which postponed our trip to September. I was excited to try out seasonal drinks in Japan and see the colours of leaves change but we went there between late Summer and early Autumn, when days were warm and the nights were cold.

Speaking about opportunities, SKAVANSIEUR will giving opportunities to authors to share more about their books (or themselves).
