JapanWhile I was in Tokyo I visited Tokyo Friends School. The only Quaker School in all of Japan. Lucky me, it was 800+ girls from 7th-12th grade. Hehehe... Had some meeting with students where we learned each others languages. Aside from that I went to Akihabara were I picked up the Shonen Jump DS Game, and 3 chapter of the Pokemon Special Manga.
From Tokyo we (my mother and I) went to Nagasaki were she visited the Peace Garden and Museum. I decided to stay in the hotel, deciding bothe Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be way to depressing. Then we went on to Hiroshima. I saw the Atomic Bomb Dome and the gardens surrounding it. A very emotionally exhausting ordeal. We then went to Kyoto.
While I was in Kyoto, we went to see the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Note, that the emperor lives in the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Anyway, there's a sort of drain mote running around the palace which is about 2 feet away from the outer wall. I was walking along this when I tripped. I probably would've tripped and busted my head on the palace wall, so I stuck out my leg to keep me from getting a concussion. When I did so, the palace shocked me. I think I must have activated a trip wire...
So basically, that's all worth noting!!

Anyway, sounds like you had a nice trip. I hope the shock at the Kyoto Imperial Palace didn't sting too much.

But how was Japan a little wierd to you (this would have to do with the country's customs)?

I was talking to some other american tourist who had just been in Korea and China, and they said was, (to them) a sort of US in Asia, the only difference being they aren't nearly all white. Of course I disagree, because much of Japanese culture is alive and kicking. I guess that part is part of your own opinion.
