Tokyo Disney part 1

I have done a lot here already in the short time I have been here. One of my favorite memories I am sure to have will be Tokyo Disneyland. Oh the Stitches were everywhere.

Before even entering I had people asking us to stop so they could take a picture with me. I'm betting on the fact it was the curls but it could have just been because we are American.

Most of the rides were the same. Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion: Just to name a few. But then we also had Roger Rabbit and The Captain EO show and other older but good rides and shows. All in all, it was a fun experience. The guys and I got along great. It wasn't as pricey as the one in America and little Bender enjoyed his time with Ruth and Bobby! :)

Some differences between Tokyo Disney and the last time I went to Disney are as follows:
1) Buzz Lightyear's face was animated with a computer the rest wasn't.
2) Beware of the popcorn containers. Each different style is a different kind of popcorn (including Soy and Curry popcorn) (Note: These can be found at movie theaters as well)
3) Fast pass is different. Only one at a time and hurry up and get them. We waited over 2 hours for Splash Mountain.
4) NO PRINCESSES (until the light show) they weren't anywhere. :(
5) Decently priced for an amazing adventure anyway.

It was a great time. We have PLENTY of pictures to prove it. Here are some to keep you entertained! I am sure I will put up more asap! :)

  

 

  

 

 

 

  

Captivated by Curiosity

The whole world pauses before him
Consumed in this man's travels as he walks
Through the night, to a place
Even the night sky finds fascinating.


Through the mountains of trials
He reached this clearing with a wide
Course to follow, that no one has
Stepped foot on before.

He has left the clouds of his past for
The pastures of his tomorrows. He is absorbed
By his mission, concentrating his thoughts.
Just a man on a simple journey.

Just a single act, and yet the world is
On hold,  Silently cheering for success,
holding its breath against failure.
Waiting to see just what the man does.

Yet the light behind him comes from the troubles,
the regrets and broken promises he has grown past.
He found a land full of possibilities and is
absorbed in the graces of hope for a greater tomorrow.

The Beach View-- Misawa

I interviewed at the Golf Course one day a couple weeks ago. This is the picture of the view I read in front of. Just can't help but love the beauty.

Misawa Festival- Tanabata

The weekend we went to Disney our town of Misawa had its own festival. It was great. Friday after my interview Mike and I walked around and saw just how fun festivals could be! We weren't able to stay long and we didn't buy anything (though he was looking at cards and i was looking at kimonos) and the food looked so good! Here are the pictures from the festival :)
