So I am in Japan. And it really is amazing. I mean, the difference in the culture here is just crazy compared to what we are used to in Australia. Not even thinking about the crazy cartoon and everything everywhere, but the way that the houses are set up and the INSANE amount of stairs everywhere. And they wrap up EVERYTHING that you buy. I mean everything. I bought a few things from a little shop at a shrine before and the lady wrapped each item in its own pretty paper bag and then put the whole lot into a plastic bag. Crazyness.
Oh and speaking of crazyness, the people that designed the train stations in Tokyo (in particular Tokyo Station) were on so many kinds of drugs!!! It's easy enough to navigate the stations (well... confusing unless you know what you are looking for), but the distance between each train line and the amount of stairs... I don't even have words... I'm actually speechless! But sometimes it can take up to 30mins to walk from one platform to another in the same station. CRAZY!
But possibly the best thing I have seen since I have been here is a lady walking down the road with her two poodles and her MONKEY!!! I want a monkey... Wah.
As soon as I get home (June 21) I will upload some photos - we have only been here for 5 days and I already have over 300 photos - Japan is just loving my camera!
Love all!
