For the past week I have been traveling in Japan and am currently in Osaka. I started my trip in Tokyo, which had the big city feel of Chicago combined with the lights and madness of Las Vegas.
From there I headed to Mt.Fuji. Even though I knew it was too cold to hike the tallest mountain in Japan, I was still hoping to get some nice views from town. However, the weather had another idea and it snowed the entire time I was there. The sky was filled with dense snow clouds and the ground was covered in a fluffy white blanket. Despite the freezing temperature I had a great time since I rarely find myself in snow filled situations.
This brings me to Osaka, a city just as lively as Tokyo but on a much smaller, more manageable scale. Tomorrow I will take a day trip to Kyoto to see some temples and shrines since it is only a 20 minute train ride away. Then I have a friend coming down from Tokyo to hangout some more while I am in Japan. There will be more stories and pictures to come when I arrive back in Ho Chi Minh City.
keep having fun, can’t wait to read all about it
We hope you had plenty of warm clothes for the snowy weather. We look forward to seeing pictures from Japan.
Love,
Nona & Granddaddy
