Japan

I've finally uploaded my photos from Japan...I took over 500, so I'll just post a few highlights here. We had a fantastic trip and I loved Japan! In fact, I'd like to post about some of the things I'll miss.

Top Ten Things I'll Miss About Japan

10 - Bowing. I loved watching people bow to each other...such a respectful gesture
9 - Hi-chew, my favorite Japanese candy (I stocked up though)
8 - The precision of the train schedule
7 - Women wearing kimonos
6 - Cool Buddhist temples
5 - The cool vending machines (on every block!)
4 - Everything being individually wrapped (And I do I mean everything)
3 - Torii gates and little neighborhood shrines
2 - The AMAZING level of service EVERYWHERE
1 - Heated toilet seats


Here are a few photos for you to enjoy!
