A Few Interesting Things in Japan....

5/30/2009

Japan is the cleanest country I have ever seen. The streets shined - no joke. All the shop keepers were out sweeping the side walks, and cleaning their windows. Everything in this town was so organized, it was unbelievable. You should have seen the food at the food markets..so orderly. I think this country has a serious OCD problem, but I loved it. Here is a picture of 'underground' shopping.

Bicycle parking is EVERYWHERE.

And most people travel by bike....check out her shoes.

People here LOVE their *little* dogs. We went into one store that was all dog...they had dog clothes, dog strollers, dog carriers, dog cribs, I must say, it was out of control. They even have special spots to put your dog while you go into a store.

While on a tour, we happened upon this traditional Japanese wedding.

My MIL LOVES the Japanese Kimono, so I took a few pictures for her. I thought she was going to cry during this wedding, even though she didn't know anyone involved.

And here she (my MIL) is being fitted for her very own kimono.

My favorite sushi chef while in Japan.....

The sushi was to die for....this plate of tuna sashimi was my all time favorite!!

The sake wasn't too shabby either!

We had some good times and great laughs on this short weekend trip to Japan. The things I will remember about Japan are:

1.        How clean it was was
2.        The fantastic sushi
3.        And the shoes…I will leave you with a few shots of some of the shoes……
