Adventures in the Tsukiji Market, the purchase (and later confiscation) of the most glorious wasabi ever consumed, Kamakura, fabulous treats, and finally, after getting lost, again, the Great Buddha. I tried to rub its tummy, but the officers didn't like that idea for some reason...

Nina The Barbarian Day 3: Ghibli Studio
Day 3: Ghibli Studio
I found that I had alot to say about this place and alot of great pictures--even though you are only allowed to take photos of the outside. The images I discovered here stayed with me throughout the trip. Whenever I saw hills/mountains of a particular shape I thought of Totoro. I also got myself a little Totoro cup at Kiddyland later in the day and had my Aquawater in it nightly. I like interactive places that make you think. I am much more likely to remember what I learned and saw here for the rest of my life.
The Ghibli Museum
p.s. I upload a couple of drafts to scribd before posting here (and settling on a final version). Read: I think I'm done, then I reread on scribd and find errors. I'm pointing this out because 18 people had already read this article before I got my final version up (which only took 10 minutes). Hmm. Wow. So, just saying that if you are one of the people who is eagerly waiting for my next entry, you may want to give it a little while before you read. Once I post it here, it is pretty much finalized. Savvy? Ok. Thanks.

Nina The Barbarian = Nina Goes To Japan
Blogger and I are having relationship issues, so for now I am publishing over at Scribd.com. Please follow the below link. I have issues viewing files on scribd on certain computers--letters seem squished together. I apologize if you experience this too. Hopefully I can work out a better system soon!
Enjoy!
