until I realized that neither could 30% of the audience.
But it was lovely to see all of the older ladies in the theater all decked out in their 'kimono'. It's not a sight that you see very often.
Speaking of sights you don't see very often,
Sumo wrestlers. Small. Trainees. Perhaps.
And nothing beats meeting new friends...
And seeing old friends, doing, er, the strangest of things...
And speaking of the season, nothing screams HOLIDAY more than ambiguous English.
I'm sure it's not as selfish as it sounds.
And nothing beats the best thing of all..
An amazing sunset.
Cheers, Dahlinks!!!

Yes, a gorgeous sunset to sum it all up! Thank you for letting me live vicariously through your Asian adventures. ")
I loved the sunset picture...very serene.
Adriann:
I'll be sure to include more pictures of toilets, then! Best part of Japan!
Sage:
It WAS incredibly peaceful. I was outside of the Kyushu National Museum which sits atop a mountain. Doesn't get any better than that.
Oh MY...I would SO be sleeping at the opera. Sorry, I guess I'm not as "cultural" as the next person :-). But I know my limits, lol.
BEAUTIFUL pictures, though. Have a great weekend.
so much gorgeousness! i want a kimono but i think i'll save that idea for when my motor skills catch up with my age which might be never.
I love this post!!! So funny and fun!!!
Great site. The shopper picture is interesting, the sunset is the best.
WOW,we definately have to put Japan as a place to visit,how beautiful!
Dawn: Yeah, insomniacs, never fear. Just head to your local NOH theater! Ha!
aa: Yeah, you gotta have the right attitude for a kimono, too and so far, I've only seen women over 60 carry it off the way I would hope to do.
Cheryl Wray:
Thanks!
Kole:
Thanks! I love taking pictures of sunsets even though I am always a little disappointed because the camera truly cannot capture even half the beauty fo the human eye.
Alivewithpassion: Oh yeah, some parts of Japan where traditional culture is still alive are great!
