My Favorite Things in Japan:
1. trains on time down to the minute 99.9% of the time
 |
| and the time this train pulled in was...14:35 |
2. fresh sushi from our favorite mom and pop joint
 |
| we always order "chef's special or omakase |
2. Roanji rock garden
3. Mt. Fuji
 |
| I just took this yesterday from the shinkansen/bullet train window |
4. Meiji Shirne and the walk through forest leading up to it.
5. the big buddha near our old apt.
6. flowers and fruit-laden trees at the end of November

 |
| roses in yoyogi park in mid-November |
7. tsukemen from Benten
8. heated toilet seats

Some Things I find Crazy about Japan:
1. the last train of the night in one of world's most metropolitan cities is midnight
2. money machines excpet stacks of bills
3. warm curry risotto or milk pancake drinks from vending machine
 |
| actually pretty tasty if you like warm butter and syrup flavored milk |
 |
| too scared to try the risotto in a can (next to the corn potage) |
4. cigarete machines still everywhere
5. how many people can cram into an already full elevator
 |
| and they were still coming! |
6. the plethora of dogs in outfits
7. interesting snacks
 |
| I passed |
 |
| backed apple with ice cream, chocolate syrup and cornflakes as park food |
 |
| the egg again |
7. architectural surprises
8. umbrella stands everywhere
9. bike assesible steps--this is great
10. bars at the entrance to pedestrian walkways which make passing through while jogging a bruising experience
 |
| these ones provide more space than most |
