Sorry I haven’t been posting as much. Work has started to get a bit hectic as people are planning their summer vacation. But I have managed to write a nice page on the Japanese Garden. These gardens are a work of art. They are a must see on anyone’s list of things to see & do in Japan.
Find out why they aren’t just your ordinary garden of beautiful flowers. They are so much more for the eyes, body, and soul.
Another great thing about Japan is its’ animation a.k.a. Anime. My best friend, Samantha, and I have been

watching Ergo Proxy on DVD. So far, we are really enjoying the characters and storyline. Pino is my favorite, by the way. The other day Samantha got these really awesome Ergo Proxy pins which I just adored tremendously and badly wanted for myself. She got the Pino Pin Set.
They are the cutest depiction of the autoreiv and one of the great things about the pins is that you get two PVC Pino pins. One of her with her long purple hair and the top of her every day clothes, looking so cute (if she were really I would probably squeeze her so hard because she is just to cute) and the other pin is of her in her little bunny suit (that’s what I call it). If you haven’t figured it out yet, these pins are too cute for words. I can’t express how wonderful these pins are. The are made of PVC so they are flexible and can bend a bit if needed.
So, once I saw Samantha’s pins I had to place my order for the pins as well and I was super delighted when they arrived in the mail. Now, I have Pino with me 24/7. When I catch a glimpse of myself in the reflection and see Pino it brings a smile to my face every time. I am so glad I purchased this product. It’s just the thing I need to get me through the long work day.
At first I didn’t understand the Japanese bath at all. Here in the states most people prefer to take a shower to remove the grim of the day. But the Japanese bath is different. It’s not for cleaning like our baths. It’s more for relaxation and get this . . .you’re actually clean before you get into the bath water. Now, that’s totally different from how we take baths. It makes baths more appealing. Instead of sitting in your own dirty water as we do here, you’re sitting in nice, hot, relaxing, clean water. Boy, that sure sounds good right about now.
I love traditional Japanese homes. They are so organic, simple, and so tranquil compared to modern day homes. If you get a chance to visit Japan try to see a traditional Japanese home. If you do, you won’t be disappointed. It is a lovely site to see.
Something I always wanted to try but was a bit hesitant to do so, was Sushi. I would see television programs were the sushi would look so good. And I’d wish I could reach into the screen and take the sushi off the plate. Then on other programs I would see characters put the Sushi in their mouth and then spit it out immediately.
Well, an opportunity presented it’s self to eat Sushi at are latest Japanese Festival and to my surprise I LIKE IT! I honestly thought I wouldn’t like. I thought that it would be tasteless but it totally wasn’t, it was good. Now, anytime I’m in a restaurant that offers fresh sushi it’s the first thing I place an order for.
