Oh, the places you'll go!




The first city that I visited was Yokohama. It is the second largest city in Japan.Highlights for the day included visiting the mall where I got this absolutely positively deliscious parfeit. It was a combo of frozen yogurt, whip cream, bananas, caramel and a waffle. yummy! I enjoyed seeing a guy that made his dinero by playing music on the streets. He was stationed in a yellow box with an opening at the top. He starts advertising by shaking a maraca-like object, until someone drops money in his tray. After the money is deposited, he opens the front flap and plays music. It was actually kind of funny. Japanese people are big on wearing anything that has English writing on it, so at the mall I kept seeing T-shirts and accesories with English phrases on them that made absolutely no sense! One lady had on a bag that said "I love grass grow" Look at this T-shirt, it says: "Make love to like it too much, move over darling please when me your love" I guess ignorance really is bliss. I wonder if that's the same situation for Americans that get those Japanese and Chinese tatoos.Who knows?

Naajiya,
Have you purchased any traditional clothing yet? Did you drop money into the guys tray?

haha, I agree, "ignorance really is bliss" Yes, I strongly believe it is the same thing with Americans that get those Japanese and Chinese tatoos. Unless, they did some research in advance or got an authentic tatoo from Japan or China.
