A stroll in Ueno Park
Today was a lazy day because we were SOOOOOO dead-tired from the plane ride yesterday. Oh, and being on a plane was really cool by the way! We were over British Columbia for what seemed to be a really long time. Like... more than 2 hours. It was funny: ...
Tokyo
First day of tokyo. Some of the pictures are fuzzy since I took pictures of the shots on my camera with the ...
Sunrise Geyser Fields
Geyser fields are generally a sight to behold...in this case waking up at 4ish to complete the drive though this vast desert/rock field/mud flat lit only by moon made it all the better. Earth has a grand habit of reminding everyone that there are ...
Golly, there sure are a lot of people here.
Two things are certain about Tokyo: It is big, and there is a lot to eat. Oh, and also we're exhausted by 8:30 at night and we wake up at 6:00 every morning. (I guess that’s three things.) Stupid jet lag. We’ve spent the ...

Tokyooooooooo
Om 11u vertrokken in fuji en aangekomen na enkele treinen en (verkeerde) metro's hier in Tokyo rond 14u , dan hier nog wat rond gelopen , ik wou eerst op de skytree (hoge toren) gaan maar ik was vergeten dat je in het weekend best de toeristisch dingen ...

Travelling round Tokyo!
... at a Mr Donut for breakfast! We stood at the edge of the road and a little lady from Singapore started talking to us. She was in Japan checking out uni for her son. She then took our number and told us if we want to go to Singapore she will show us ...
Japan!!!!!!
We arrived in Japan at around 11.00pm. With the information centre shut and that being where we had to get our rail pass from we decided to sleep on the seats at the airport along with others. We went to a shop and got some ready meal style noodles with ...
Universal studios.
We thought we would treat ourselves today so off we plodded to Universal Studios. 1st ride we went on was Spider-Man. It was wicked. Then we queued for what felt like 3 days for the Back to the Future ride which was equally as cool. Next up we went on ...
Rainy days and the controversial Yasukuni Shrine
... about it. I did like the beginning history, which showed the early armor and swords and talked about the unification of Japan. There was a timeline shelf that extended out from the display case and showed from the 1200s to the 1500s. We ...
3 days to cover!
... . This just confused us more. Kat and I bought some things, and the really nice thing is that when you buy something in Japan they always offer gift wrapping for free, which is nice. One man took this hospitality another step and gave us some free ...
My first day exploring
It took awhile for: 1) Me to discover the sign for the subway. My first stop took 1hr and Google maps said it should have taken 20 min. 2) Learn that traffic goes the "London" way. In fact, I didn't realize it until 2:30pm 3) Those slanted paths next to ...
Wandering Tokyo
... , even in the rain. And every single person has an umbrella, which is apparently one of the most commonly stolen items in Japan, but nobody wears any sort of rain jacket. Public transit is really convenient and popular here, every train I have ridden is ...
Tokyo Tales
We arrived in Japan on Friday afternoon. The staff at the airport were extremely helpful and got us on our way to Jen and Christian's on the airport bus. The Tokyo airport bus cost us £24 each, compared to the Beijing Airport Express, which cost £2.50 ...
Fish auction!
3:25 wake-up, 4:15 arrival at the fish market and we were the last people to get in. I'm sitting next to a lady from ATL, a girl from UF and a man from UMich. Small freaking world. We then went to the giant Tuna auction (the tuna was giant, not the ...
The end to a very long day

24 hours in Tokyo
... who denied me service earlier to the next cab in the stand. I told him, not asked, that he was taking me to the Palace Japan Hotel. He indicated I should ask the fist cab in the stand, as was orthodox, but I explained as clearly as I could that I was ...
Arrival at Hiroshima and shrine at Tokyo
Last day at Tokyo today. Very sad, because I really love Tokyo!! In the morning we caught a subway to a Buddhist shrine Sensouji Temple at Asaksuka. It was so nice and big and is a pilgrimage to many. There were markets all around it and exploring them ...
DISNEYLAND!!

Tokyo National Museum
... 't really a lot to see in the garden. Several old structures that had been relocated to the museum grounds from around Japan were the main attractions when the foliage wasn't out, but those buildings were closed to visitors without a private reservation ...
The wild, wild East
... met onze neus op de feiten gedrukt: ook al waan je je een echte reiziger en denk je dat je heel zelfraadzaam bent, in Japan gaat álles anders. Dus ook het adressensysteem. Ondanks een adres, kaart en twee keer vragen, hebben we het niet kunnen ...

More gardens
500 yr old garden. It even had palm trees. And a turtle. And a long worm. And ravens attacking each other. My favorite is the signs. (Below) 300 yards...so excited to find out til what...I'm still waiting, ...
