Okinawa Expo Park and Churaumi Aquarium

Dave

Went and visited the Okinawa Expo Park and the Churaumi Aquarium that is located within the park. This was definitely something to see. The Aquarium is known for having five whale sharks in captivity in this massive tank. The size of it was very impressive. There were other nice things to see around the part such as the vegetation, the spectacular views, the dolphin show, and you must see the whale sharks. There were some other things that were kind of neat such as using PVC pipes to act as mangrove tree roots for fish to live in.

Odawara Castle, Japan

Dave

Took the train and went over to Odawara castle today to take some photos of the castle and the cherry blossoms. To my surprise there was a festival and a couple taking some wedding photos in front of the castle. This castle is not as big as some of the other castles I have been to, but it was still a neat experience because this castle is located close to both the mountains and the ocean.

Matsumoto Castle, Japan

Dave

Went to Matsumoto Castle located in Nagano Prefecture on the Island of Honshu, Japan. This was quite the experience and it was spectacular to be able to see the castle both on the inside and out, but also the panoramic views of the mountains and the city that was built long after the castle. Some of the unique features about this castle is that when you first enter the castle the incline of the steps was at a low angle with many steps, but the higher you go the further apart the steps become and the fewer they are. Another interesting thing is that this castle is one of only two that has a moon room that was use to write poetry in. Also, this castle has a hidden floor that was use to store weapons and ammunition. I hope you enjoy the photos from the experience as much as I enjoyed the experience itself.

Nagano Ninja Village

Dave


I have heard about a ninja village near Nagano, Japan so I decided to check it out. This was a pretty cool place because they had everything you could imagine from trap doors, to ninja star throwing, blow dart shooting, and all sorts of obstacles. They even had some water obstacles. The cool part of this was that it was high in the mountains in a secluded area much like you would expect a ninja village to be. The training had all the basic skills a ninja would use. The obstacles were more for children as you can see in the images, but regardless it was still pretty fun.

Ninja Show Near Mie, Japan

Dave


Went to Mie, Japan to checkout a real life ninja show. This was pretty neat because I went to an actual ninja village and learned that the Mie ninja’s were good at the art of implanting a suggestion into a person’s mind in order to get them to do what they want. If I remember correctly, I think they were also good at alchemy and making smoke bombs so they can conceal their escape. It was a fun experience to see and I would certainly recommend it for others.

Husband Makes The Lunches

Dave


For the 1st time in their 3 year marriage, a wife asked if her husband would mind making the next day’s lunches for them both. Obligingly he agrees.

The next morning, the young wife asks her loving husband, ‘Where are our lunches honey?’

He replied, ‘I put them on the second shelf of the fridge.

My lunch is the one on the left, and yours is on the right.’
