Thick batter with slices of octopus cooked inside.

This is just octopus I had with Miho and the gang

i didn’t get any good photos of the people on the streets but i really want you to understand what i saw a million times a day. I promise this is not an extreme case. the it was the norm but only imagine a little more coverage on the arms cause it was colder.

heysus.

I’m much more interested in taking photos of people. i just didn’t get a chance to focus my energy on doing it this trip. the next time i go thought, i promise.

I honestly felt a little too much like an outsider feel like i could take good photos.

I think i said it before, but i guess Geisha aren’t’ the easiest folks to randomly see. The first time I saw one she kinda ran out of a house and around the corner. I almost completely missed her.

The next time was just before we went to Monkey Mountain. There was a group walking with a few men.

This is for you Nadine.

I’m not sure why I am so bad at getting things. I crack under pressure. I go out and buy the things i think are cool then i think about them and i wonder if anyone else would like them. For instance, i totally missed the chance to bring back Japanese candy. DUH! Why would i not pick some up. Okay, i had all intentions of picking some up but I thought it could wait for the airport.  My train ended up being canceled while i was waiting on the platform and the other came an hour later. In that hour, I was walking around totally confused and thought i missed the train. i just hopped on the next train heading to the airport and hoped that the ticket man would let me be. I had to do a mad dash through the airport to get to my gate on time.

Anyhow, here are most of the things i brought back. Some stuff i have people in mind for. If someone is really expecting a good gift from me (dad, ebony, mom, snipper, loren, aileen, mari, marcia, ajana, jillian, tyler, sonya, add your name here, etc) then my bad.  come over and pick up something or just consider my steady blogging and staying up late to post photos my gift to you. it was a lot of work

I’m so nervous no one will like the things i even considered not giving any of it out just to avoid letting someone down. oh man, why is this so hard?
