Japan blog

My last post

Well, that's that. A week and a half after I'm home I finally have all my pictures posted and my blog is done. Thank you everyone for reading it... I've really enjoyed making this. I had such a great time in Japan, and am already looking forward to going back sometime. Thanks to everyone in Japan who made my trip awesome!
If you want to keep up with me more, I have another blog started. It'll just be for whatever I want to put in it.... Probably not as journal-like as this one has been, but things that are worth mentioning will go there. It can be found at:

I've enjoyed making this blog, and it will remain online. It just wont be added to. Well, I guess I'll see you over at my livejournal! :)

Business class!

Here are some pictures from the airplane! We were upgraded to business class for flight to Seattle. :)

Me sitting (before many people got on)

The appetizer, a salad, a roll, and some shrimp and meat stuff. Yum! Way better than economy class. :p Also, my headphones cord got kind of in the way.

Me with the appetizer.

My dinner... Steak, asparagus, and potatoes. YUM!!!!!

My breakfast. A croissant, yogurt, and a fruit plate (with Japanese strawberries!!!). I also ate my dad's croissant.

Here are some pictures from the amusement park my dad and I went to!

That's me in front of the Tower Hacker!

This is me in the ferris wheel.

This is the Tower Hacker.

Here is my dad in the ferris wheel.

This is the Tower Hacker in action... Those little orange car things are basically free-falling.

Me... Still in the ferris wheel.

The top of Tokyo Dome, which I think looks like melonpan.

This is a large piece of the amusement park we were at.

Thunder Dolphin!!!!!! This is the big hill and the hole (I'm sure you can tell which is which).

Lunch at the "American Grill"! :)

Neither of these are as blurry as they appear here.... The "High-Tech Ride Photo" and best couple sticker. :)

And the funy English award goes to....

Well, there's all sorts of "funny English" in Japan, but this takes the cake. It's not even really "funny English" but it is at the same time. I saw this and HAD to stop and take a picture.

Disclaimer: I mean no offense. I am not endorsing the KKK. I just saw the humor in this.

Straawberry farm

I think this could be heaven. A greenhouse FULL of strawberry plants! And better yet, Japanese strawberry plants!

The kids and the cat

This is Yuutaro, hiding from the camera.

This is Nanako.

This is Sam-Chan again... My grandma's ancient cat. The second picture is Sam-Chan with the various stuffed animals I got in Japan.

Hatazawa Elementary

Here are a couple of pictures of the elementary school I went to. This is the front gate where we go in every day.

This is some of the Japanese calligraphy I did there:

Kamogawa Sea World

Here are some of my pictures from the Kamogawa trip.

Some of the buffet lunch.

The koi at the hotel where we had lunch.

A bit blurry, but those are big crabs!

Ocean sunfish! Manbo (pronounced Mumbo)! The pictures aren't great, but there are two of them... One is really big. The glass and stuff made it hard to get a good picture.
