impressions from Yokohama. It is located right next to Tokyo, only couple of stops by train. Dont miss the clockwheel and skyline at night ... will be updated once I have more time or find somehone writing all the stories, i am more the photographer *g*

Visiting Chinatown becomes an different experience each time you visit.  Today we walked and visited as many stores and shops our feet allowed us.  The train ride was very simple and although we went during the week it was still busy with people.

  After the ramen musuem the rain had stopped so we decided that it we should still head over to the Yokohama Stadium and watch the baseball game. We arrived to the game a half hour late but we still got tickets. Our seats were awesome. We sat with the die hard fans, they come to every game, have organized cheering (lead by a cheermaster), and some of them bring their instruments and play during the cheering. The energy at the game was amazing.   Jana, Hiromi, and I sat next to a...

tripping around japan, my home country on holidays throughout the time here.

I took a gap year due to my being queen procrastinator about my uni choices. And then I remember thinking, Oooh, I fancy going to Japan!...after many months of earning money and worrying my parents with the vague assurance that I knew exactly what I would do there, I finally arrived. I am now in the final weeks of my stay, completely refreshed and 'ready' to go to university!

So I finally made it out to Yokohoma, man I should have went a long time ago.  I had so much fun.  Hard Rock was easy to find and it was very pretty at night.  I plan to return for day trip.  I want to go up in Land Mark tower and view the city. 

another culture, another way of traveling

I love this town!

Funny place , Yokohama !!!!

Ramen is one of the most popular food to Japanese. I love to eat Ramen, too.

Tallest observatory in Japan

Well, as part of my weekend excursion I spent a day on a tour bus driving around Yokohama and seeing its various touristy spots.  The company I did the tour through was ran by the city so the first problem with this was that they only spoke Japanese during the whole tour, haha.  So, needless to say inbetween going to places I was listening to my ipod.  However, we start out from the Yokohama Station promptly at 9:45am.  We were then driven to the Minato Mirai 21 District t...

Now that I've recovered from the Drunken Stupor that the Habu-Saki put me in, it was time to set out on my lil adventure. I didn't have too long, but I still wanted to get out and see what I could see. So Yokohama and Tokyo, HERE I COME!!

We dined at a Chinese restaraunt - I don't remember it's name for the life of me. Probably couldn't spell it either. It's ok, they knew English as well as I knew Chinese...

I hate having plans when I travel but I make some exceptions and this day was one of those.  Often when I travel I make it a point to watch some hockey and I made plans to do this in Japan.  You may be surprised but there is professional hockey in Japan.  The pro hockey league in Japan may not rival the NHL but it was not the worst hockey I have ever seen.  The game I chose ot watch was between a team from Tokyo and another team from Sapporo and they played at Shin-Yokoham...
