Japan

I just got home from five days in Japan. Will, Bobby, Alex, George, and I flew to Osaka and then took a bus to Kyoto, which we used as our base of operations. We spent a night in a Ryokan, which is a wood and paper constructed traditional Japanese hotel, and the remaining nights we stayed in a hostel. We spent our days taking in culture: shrines, temples, pagodas, forests, etc and our nights mixing it up. The trip had too many inside jokes and bizarre cultural shenanigans for me to get into here, there were monkeys, there were robots, there were angry Germans. Suffice it to say that we had a good time. Rather than try to describe things I’ll let the mass of pictures I took speak for themselves.

  2. yeah, who knows. there's nothing like seeing an advertisement for jeans amongst Japanese lanterns to reinforce the idea that the world is indeed very small.

    who are you by the way, googlebooks?
