One of My Favorite Places: The PokeCenters

(The Tokyo Skytree at night. Source)

Before the time of the pandemic, before even the start of the Fall 2019 semester, I had the amazing opportunity to travel to Japan with my family. While there we came across store dedicated solely to Pokémon. These stores are called Pokémon Centers. For those, who haven't played the games/watched the show, a Pokémon Center is a place where you can go to heal your Pokémon completely for free. Sadly, there wasn't any free stuff in these centers.

They sold lots of plushies, toys, and apparel. I ended up getting a plush pichu, eevee, and some pikachu chopsticks. I would've liked to have spend more time in there and probably bought out most of the store, but luckily my parents were there to limit me to just a few things.

  1. Oh my gosh, Zeeshawn, this is so cool: people have done Pokemon projects for this class before (maybe you will want to do that!), but nobody has shared a picture of an actual Pokemon Center like this before. Fabulous! When you do your first storytelling for Week 2, maybe you can retell the story in the Pokemon world with Pokemon characters! :-)

Introduction to Zeeshawn Beg

Hi! I'm Zeeshawn, a Microbiology major, med school hopeful, and computer enthusiast. I was born in Pakistan and my family immigrated to Oklahoma when I was just a couple months old. I still love to watch cricket. I can't see it live though because of the time zones it's always early in the morning.  ("Wahab Stuns Hosts! | England vs Pakistan Match Highlights | ICC Cricket World Cup 2019" at youtube ) One of my favorite classes has been Chinese Literature. I had never really learned much about Chinese history, so this class really opened my eyes and helped me understand recent history. The book/story that affected me the most in that class was the Iron Child by Mo Yan.  I've also been trying to learn to draw. The idea of being able to create something has really motivated me and especially being able to see great art anytime on the internet has helped fuel this. I've been using drawabox  to learn the fundamentals and I feel like I've made some progress.

Week 2 Story: Entrapment

(source: The Trapped Tiger by Snehil Singh )   Once upon a time, there was a poor Brahman walking through the forest. He happened upon a tiger caught in a hunter’s cage. “Let me out of this cage, oh pious one!” cried the tiger. “Nah you’ll probably eat me if I do” remarked the Brahman, “How could I trust you to do anything else?” “No!” bellowed the tiger swearing oaths the Brahman had not even heard of, “I will serve as your slave and always be by your side!” The Brahman’s mind raced. “A tiger slave? But how can I trust him? But tigers are pretty cool. And I might be able get some fame and fortune. Who wouldn’t come to see a man and his slave tiger,” He thought.  He said to the tiger, “Ok, I will free you,” and after some trouble he released the tiger from its imprisonment. It leapt upon him and said. “You fool, how could you be so naive as I’ve been for so long and worked up quite an appetite. How did you even plan to subdue me into beijing your slave?” The Brahman said, “ My disappoi
