Japan

Got back from a 12 day trip to Japan. I stayed in Shinagawa which made it super easy to get around with my Japan Railway pass for the Shinkansen (bullet train). Theres so much kitchy stuff in Japan I easily spent hours just looking at the stuff in Tokyo Hands and Don Quiote (a craft store and discount store). Their department stores were full of floral prints, straw hats, tons of accessories but I was really good about not spending anything on clothes. The basements are filled with food stalls and the best confections. Nails are very important to Japanese women, 3D nail art is very popular right now. And coming from Vegas, I thought girls here wear a lot of fake eyelashes, they sell lashes by the dozen. Onsen (hot spring) and the skin eating fish, cat cafe, maid cafe, street markets, Nikko, 2 Cirque du Soleil show... lots of great experiences....

I'll update later with pics but right now I only have 4 days before I have to ship out. I have soooo many loose ends to take care of. What to do with my car? ugh
