Japan
For the last week or so, we were in Japan.
We started out in Tokyo. The weather here was nice, and the food was excellent, but I think overall, it was under our expectations. There weren't many attractions and things to do, and the ones that we went to were small compared to similar ones in other places. For example, there was a temple that we went to - we were done in twenty minutes, and had planned a whole morning there. I think the highlight of my time in Tokyo was the cooking lessons. We learned a lot about Japanese culture there, speaking with a native. The classes were small, and we learned how to make great food as well.
After that, we went to Osaka. The heat in Osaka was insane - it was almost always above 90 during the day. This made walking around not very fun - especially hiking a mountain for half the day. We were all soaked with sweat by the time it was over. We didn't even get to the top. The food here wasn't bad either, but not as good as Tokyo (in Tokyo, they had a fresh fish market daily.)
Japan was a great place to visit, and in the future, I want to visit the cooler parts - maybe Hokkaido, an island off the northern coast, with skiing.
