Wake up, wake up on a Saturday night,
Could be New York,
Maybe Hollywood and Vine,
London, Paris, maybe Tokyo,
There's something going on anywhere I go…
Wake Up, Hilary Duff
As an angsty tween I belted out the lyrics to this song on command, not ever knowing that I would actually be waking up in Tokyo on a Saturday night and going clubbing with friends from Korea that I had just met at the Hult Prize Competition. But it happened, and so much more!
During the Golden Week vacation, I had made plans to be in Tokyo with friends and explore with my parents. Fun right?! Absolutely. I was able to become a typical tourist and just have the time of my life. There, I saw the Sensoji Temple, ate plenty of food, and took pictures of the many attractions within one of the largest cities in the world. And I got to do it with my parents!!
