https://theexasperatedhistorian.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/ribe-bridge.mp4 One of my favorite meme formats I often see online is “The European Mind cannot comprehend [insert random thing only Americans would understand]” or the reverse, “The American Mind cannot comprehend [insert thing]”. These memes are funny because of the surface level joke they present about how different various cultures really can be, even…
In the Autumn of 2021, one of the first classes I ever attended at Arizona State University was called “The Witch Hunt in Early Modern Europe.” I’ll be honest, the class was pretty boring. It was all online, the professor seemed entirely disinterested in the topic of the class, and every week all we had…
When I visited Denmark in June of 2025, we flew into Denmark, then drove to visit family in Ribe and Vilslev for a few days, and then went back to Copenhagen before flying out the following morning. This article will talk about the things we did on both days I spent in Copenhagen. The above…
One of the most interesting, and niche, places we visited while in Japan was the Toyota Museum in Nagoya. The museum’s full name is Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology, and covers more than just Toyota automobile history. Please enjoy a quick virtual tour of my time in the museum. https://theexasperatedhistorian.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/20250612_123619.mp4 https://theexasperatedhistorian.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/20250612_123807.mp4 The Toyota…
To say our day in Hiroshima was an emotional one would be an understatement, but we got to see and do a lot more than I had been assuming in the days leading up to our day there. First let me set the scene a bit. My future grandmother-in-law had booked us a private tour…
In June of 2025, I took a cruise all around Japan (with a stop in Jeju, South Korea which you can read about by clicking here). Full disclosure–that part of my around the world trip was such a blur I don’t remember where some of the following photos were taken, but I am going to…
Ah yes, my second trip to New York City. I have nothing against the people who live there, but I will be very upfront and honest, I do not like New York City. I didn’t like it the first time and I liked it even less this time around. There are too many people everywhere…
We were only in Sydney for three days at the end of May 2025, but in that time we packed in a lot of stuff, so let’s jump right in. First Up–the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb. If you couldn’t tell by the photos, this tourist attraction allows visitors to climb the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge…
(My fiancé doesn’t like having his photo posted anywhere online, so you get to enjoy various photos from my trip around the world with his face covered, haha!) Here is a photo of my family-in-law that I traveled around the world with standing in the courtyard of Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. Our tour guide suggested…
In June of 2025, I was given the opportunity to visit two cities in South Korea, Seoul and Jeju Island. This post will be about Jeju with another about Seoul coming soon! On the day we visited Jeju, our tour guide unfortunately spoke pretty much ZERO English, and no one in our group spoke…
