Sayonara, Japan!









Today is my last full day here. A bunch of us are going shopping for souvenirs this afternoon and that:s the extent of our plans. Tomorrow I plan on checking out of the hostel at 8am and then taking a train to Tokyo and then another train to the airport. My flight leaves at 3:30 or so and I first fly to Beijing and then to LA. I:m spending the night in LA and will get into Bozeman the evening of the 30th. I have several long days of travel ahead of me. The night I`m back I`m planning on eating a big, fat, juicy burger from The Garage. After that I don`t actually care what I eat, just the convenience of eating will be nice. I would actually like to go out for sushi.

This past week we finally got to see some modern architecture. We also went to a sumo tournament which was really cool! I`ll create a slide show with my best pictures once I get back. It`ll be similar to the Europe slide show with information and stuff like that. I need to get pictures from other people as well. Among the 20 of us there is probably a good 75,000 - 100,000 pictures. Movies too.

Well, I can`t wait to talk to you all! Sayonara, Japan!

Wow! Cool photos. I can't wait to talk to you this weekend! I also can't wait for some explanations to these photos which I'm sure will come with your slide show.

Sara, I didn't expect to see amy more posts. These are some amazing pics. I LOVE the terraced gardens. I have recently read that one reason Asian people may score higher in mathematics is because of all centuries of linear plantings and terraced gardening. Apparently all of that visual and physical stimuli wire the brain differently.
( I am explaining this very poorly but I am intrigued to know more.)
I am so glad you had such a wonderful trip. I hope we don't have to clip your wings when you are back in your familiar roost! I am sure you will welcome a return to your routine but I am also sure that this trip has forever changed you.
I don't think you'll be as impressed with China Air. Anyway you're almost home. I hope you and James have a wonderful reunion!

Are those roof tops? I am really looking forward to more pictures!
Was the trip what you had hoped it would be? Spring time in Montana will be nice too.
Love, Nancy
