Japan day 9


After we visited the shrine, we went to visit the imperial palace. There were lots of cyclists in the park in front of the palace. We can't enter the palace but we did take snap shots of the fountain, the samurai statue, the moat and this bridge. Sorry, i can't remember how to spell the names without the help of the tourist brochure. Will try and remember to fill them in when i get back home. It's quite a petty park and the weather was very good for walking. After this it was off to ginza for more hello kitty hunting. D was trying to find a specific hello kitty product. We found the shop but not the item she was looking for. So we had lunch, checked out the sony building, returned to our hotel, picked up our bags and headed of to takasaki. Am currently still on the 2 hour train ride to takasaki. Hope it's the right train. :-)

Must admit that I didn't hunt for Hello Kitty stuff when in Japan. I just found it, you know? OTOH, went in search of a specific Totoro (a battery-operated sleeping one that snores as well as breathes deeply!) while in Tokyo a couple of years back... and found it too! ;b

Hi! I have a rather odd request. I am so interested in traveling and finding out about different places all over the world. Would you be willing to send me some pictures from Japan so that I could post some on my blog? Complete credit would be given to you. Any pictures or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your blog!
