Japan Blog (July 15-22nd) (cont...)
Jun. 1st, 2010 04:56 pmOkay, so like I said before I wanted to try and continue writing about my Japan experiences by going through my pictures and trying to jog my memory..
I've been looking at my pictures and it looks like this will be a little more difficult than I thought it would be.. for now I am going to be going off the dates that are on my Facebook upload date, and then we'll see from there ^^; Once I get to the tour part of my studies it will be a little easier to remember, I think.
This week I stopped into Book Off (AGAIN), and managed to get a few more super cheap stuff and snag an Arashi CD
I'm sure I was wandering around with awesome people such as Tsemin, Naomi, Yvonne and Katie, too :D
Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru!
( The rest of the goodies )
There was also a really awesome sunset going on that weekend and I felt so good I wanted to go out and take some pics of it
( More pictures of the sunset from my balcony... I miss it )
Another big thing that I did that weekend was I went to the Haccho Miso Factory in town here. It's only 1 train station away so we decided we'd go try it out. Me, Young, Tsemin and Simon ventured over there and they have tours of the place and there's a restaurant that sells only miso flavored things. We ate lunch there and it was DELICIOUS. The special thing about this factory is that it's been around for a LONG time, and they still do everything the same way they did when they first started. Also, Haccho Miso is a darker miso so it has a bit of a stronger taste and such
( They are using the same barrels to make the miso factory since the 1920s or so )
After we went to the factory we had planned to walk over to the castle. It was a very bright and sunny day that day and I remember walking to the castle (which wasn't nearly as close to the train station as the miso factory), and it was just blisteringly hot. There were no clouds and no trees either
( Okazaki Castle hijinks! )
AND NOW FOR GRATUITOUS FOOD SHOTS 8D
I had gone to Domy again and was just wandering around to find something new to try and I found these. They are Hi-chews, except they have some sort of little round things in them that pop kind of when you chew it. This one was flavored Soda/Cola... and to this day I'm still not sure if I like it or not;; I liked it but I didn't at the same time
And that's that for that week. Hopefully I can work on the next week soon
