Japan

We arrived in Japan--- Thankfully!!! There was a mistake made by one of our airlines and we almost could not come but after a 14 hour flight- a 2 hour layover- and a 10 hour flight- we are here- and no one speaks English!!!!
We just got Internet and I am so so glad I LOVE it here! No one speaks English so for all I know they could be cursing at me- like I said, I LOVE it!! We live in a one room house that serves as a bedroom, living room, tea room, and an eating room! We sleep on the floor on little futons that we pull out of the closet! We eat on the floor cross legged and our food is raw fish eyes and rice!!!-- Oh and soy sauce!

We wear kimonos with ties and everything!

We have visited a lot of temples and the Buddha and wished for good luck-- by now I should live 2 be 101 and all my friends and family should have great luck for ever!

On a more delicate note- the bathrooms here are... well ... interesting! They are squatters with bidets and everything- if you do not know what that means---- look it up!

We leave Kyoto, Japan today- a total of 2 nights was spent here- and go to Nagasaki, Japan
Wish us luck as we dive into the culture, language and religion of the Japanese people!
