I wish I were a beauty queen
I was on my way to the Osaka train station when I passed by the activity hall in a department store. H.I.S., one of the largest travel agencies here in Japan, had some sort of promotions. I really had no idea what it was exactly. But the people on stage caught my attention:

At first I thought they were Filipinas, but they were from Guam. Yes, H.I.S. invited these beauty queens from Guam to promote their products. You can’t read it from the picture but these lovely ladies are all wearing “Miss Guam Universe …” sashes. The gown wearing the peach gown was wearing a “Miss Guam Universe Finalist” sash. Anyway, I do envy their height! But the physical attributes are not the reason why I dream of becoming a beauty queen (a dream which is has always been impossible). Rather, I want one of the perks that comes with it - travel opportunities!

If only I wasn’t in a hurry, it would have been me posing between these ladies instead of that Japanese lady.
