Japan Day 4: Day of Rest

After walking so much in the past few days, I figured it was best to take it "easy", especially with the heat/humidity. I did go shopping (again) though. :P

Japan Day 3: Being Touristy in Nagoya

I used to visit Japan with my family almost every year when I was little, but we never did much touristy stuff here in Nagoya, so I wanted to see some of the sights during my stay. My grandma wanted to come along for exercise... which we got plenty of. To sum up our trip, we went to Atsuda Shrine, Nagoya Castle, and Takashimaya building that is connected to Nagoya Station.

Japan Day 2: Shopping!

Jet-lag is probably the best thing that has happened to me in a while, considering that I can barely wake up before noon while at home. I woke up at 4:30 am... :P

Anyways, my grandma and I cleaned the family graves in the morning and in the afternoon, went shopping. I can't recall when I last got really tired from shopping so much. XD

I didn't take my camera with me while shopping, but this is a door at my grandma's place that I always loved. Good enough of an excuse to take pictures. Hehe.

Japan Day 1: Hello Humidity

My excitement for setting foot off the plane was soon reversed into sweat and tiredness by the heat. Oh and to top it all off, it's rainy season here... Funny how I was warned about this, yet never did I imagine it to be this bad. Who turned on the heater in the middle of summer?!?!??!?! =____=

The family grave is really close to my grandma's house, I decided I should pay my respects. It's been 6 years since I was last in Japan.

Japan Day 0: Departure

And I'm off to Japan! Yay!

I put "Day 0" as the title, due to the "disappearance" of July 5th with the crossing of the International Date Line. *shrug* Oh well. :P

I didn't take that many pictures on the plane, but I arrived at the boarding gate early, so I took pictures then. Yes, I was bored.

And here are the two photos I took while in flight. :)

July 4th on the Beach

Today was a beach hangout with friends. Of course, being July 4th, it was very crowded (had a hard time finding parking). We didn't do barbequing, but just enjoyed ourselves nonetheless. Unfortunately I had to leave early because I need to pack for tomorrow's departure! :/

Cliffs and Beaches

Today was hangout time with my friend from high school. We decided to explore nearby coastal areas, and it was a blast! XD
