A Few Interesting Things in Japan....

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.

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

Picture
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.

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

Picture
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.

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

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

Picture
The sushi was to die for....this plate of tuna sashimi was my all time favorite!!
Picture
The sake wasn't too shabby either!

Picture
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……

No matter where my travels take me, I always seem to find a little bit of Texas.

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
