Japanese Allergy Attacks

Saturday May 9th, 2009

So apparently my allergies are worse in Japan they they are in the United States. When we went to the Imperial Garden and were surrounded by lots of plant life. It was beautiful, but my I had a massive allergy attack there which was quite annoying. On our walk, we saw the Princess of Japan leave the Imperial Palace. The one Japanese student we were with said that she had never seen the Princess before. After that we walk were in one of the Imperial Gardens, and we happened upon the kids that live in the aprtment above Darius. They were playing guess where the tourist is from, and needless to say Darius won, by narrowing it down to street, city and zip code. After that we had noodles for lunch, and my first sushi experience later that day for dinner. I found out that while sushi in the United States is overpriced and fishy, in Japan it is one of the cheapest and best foods that I will be eating when im here. You order the sushi, and it comes aroud on a convyer belt. They also put random items on there and you just take what you want when it passes. At night, some of the group decided that another visit to Doma Doma was needed. More white Russians and shrimp with eyes. All in all Japan is turning out to be a great place to be for a month.
