Okayama!

Hello from Japan! I will be staying in Okayama for one week before heading off to my home city. Today we visited the Okayama Castle and Gardens. Here are some photos from the day. Once I am living in my home city, I will be doing some street photography. The fashion here is unbelievable, as I expected.

The tour guide for the gardens is an engineer and volunteers his time to take tourists around the garden. His name is Maruyama! He lead us around the gardens and took us to take part in a traditional tea ceremony. We took a tour through the castle as well. Unfortunately most of it was in Japanese. We did take photos in a palanquin (in the museum) which you can see below! After the gardens and castles we visited the Big Camera store, which is full of electronics. It is six floors! Later in the evening we went for dinner at a local Japanese restaurant and had sukiyaki chicken. Finally, we went to Big Echo Karoke. Street bicycle photos to come tomorrow. Stay tuned..
