[ MODERN JAPAN ]
(I have it separated into modern, traditional, and other {surprise})
When i decided to make this series I started having EXTREME nostalgia. I LOVED this trip and I would retake it anyday in a heart beat.
ON TO THE PICTURES
We had a plane flight that was around 10-11 hours long. It wasn't too bad and the best part was my friend and I watched...
Castaway
lol i know right, how morbid.
While we were watching it a flight attendant walked by and started reciting the part where hes screaming for Wilson. and then left
2 minutes later he came back with a styrofoam cup, WITH WILSON'S FACE ON IT.
We left at in the morning and got to Japan in the late afternoon. We drove from the airport to Osaka (even though we only stayed there for a night it is my favorite city) had a delicious meal of pork.
RANDOM CITY SNAPS
Most of these city snaps were from Osaka, Tokyo, and a few other cities that I can't name off the top of my head. Fukuoka maybe...
The last one would be a cool photo with a tilt shift effect.
I think the train tracks were in Kyoto.
The ever famous vending machines. I took this on our walk to the Manga Museum. We past like 20 of them.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
NO, ITS NOT JUST ICE CREAM.
ITS SALT ICE CREAM.
The best thing to ever be made on this planet.
I ended up eating two. Just thinking about these make we want to go back to Japan. I barely managed to snap this picture before eating it. Barely.
I'll be honest with you. I saw this a few times and I just laughed.
But then I bought the gum.
It was amazing, but it only had around 8 pieces. And after I bought it; I never found this gum again.
And that is the saddest story that will probably ever be told on this blog.
{[ FUNNY STORY TIME!!! ]}
(with 1 picture)
During our trip to Japan we went to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bomb sites. Very cool and very sad. During this trip in Hiroshima we passed a group of elementary students who were there on a trip to place 1,000 paper cranes in a area that was located next to the Children's Peace Memorial. When the children saw our camera they started posing so we took pictures of them.
Now I want you to focus on the kid in front. Black shirt and black cap.
Yes, that kid.
We love this kid.
After we finished going through the Hiroshima museum we traveled to 宮島 (Miyajima).
宮島 is an island off of the coast of Hiroshima that is home to a deer park and a small village. On 宮島 we had a lot of fun. We went down to the shrine before the water came up and we almost got lost. But the best part is when we got off the island and onto the dock for the boat. While we were waiting in line to get on a kid was getting off. And that kid got up into my friend's face and was making funny faces so my friend made them back. And we thought nothing of it until we got onto the boat and we started talking.
"That kid was weird"
"I know, he just got in your face. I wasn't expecting that"
"He looked familiar"
"Yah, I know"
AND THEN I DAWNED ON US.
IT WAS THE KID FROM HIROSHIMA.
That's the end of Part 1.
More to come soon. I hope that you will look forward to them!!
