Went to Japan recently and already miss these: #5. Self-cleaning, seat-heating, washlet-spraying toilets—exactly like South Park portrayed. #19. Public transportation that takes you anywhere within a 2-min walk. #37. Convenience stores… but really, NO Euclidean zoning!

It’s the Year of the Rabbit, which is also our lab @AgaisseLab ‘s favorite animal. Here I drew a bunny. Happy lunar new year 🧧!
“American chocolate bad bc it tastes like vomit” ended up being the conclusion of my stats class mini-project. Hopefully the instructors are not adamant American chocolate lovers.
