more of JAPAN

here is a little taste of japanese culture.


there are lots of cute little japanese tea houses and restuarants. this area of town is what you would picture when you think of old japan - with little geishas jumping from roof to roof!!!

we waited and walkted along this one street for a long while trying to get some pictures of the beautiful geishas. my first 4 attempts at getting pictures were unsucessful. there were many walking by themselves and many trailing behind men in suits. all very cute, just like in the movies. they wont stop for pictures, but they'll smile and nod at you.

bikes everywhere! just like in china, it seems that most people travel this way. whether in a suit, dress or mini skirt, everyone is travelling on their speedy little bikes.

some pictures of us eating in a cute little restuarant. we had to try the sake... we opted for peach flavour... mmm mmm good! it was a wonderful trip, great to get away together and visit another country.
