a Japanese rice wheel nephew intention
Monday we checked out of our hotel and went to the beach north of town. We accidentally missed the beach because we didn't get off of the bus at the right time, but the bus driver saw our concern and expelled us from the bus with directions on how to get to a bus going in the opposite direction (he also didn't charge us for our ride since we didn't get to where we wanted to go (Japanese people are very kind)).
We saw a shrine by accident on the way to the beach and ate some Chinese food by accident on the way back from the beach.
The beach was cold and windy. The sand was blowing everywhere. They also had large cement Xs and jacks all over the place (by large I mean 6 feet across or more). I realize that I should have taken pictures of it now that I look back at it. My picture discipline on the last few days was pretty lax.
After that we got on a night bus to Tokyo for our final day in Japan. We decided to blitz Tokyo and visit every major site in the city in one day. Unfortunately we had a flight to catch, which necessitated us to leave Tokyo by 11:00 AM.
Since nothing opens before 10:00 in Japan we just saw a fish market. even the park was closed before 10:00 (it was closed after 10:00 too, but that is not the issue).
Basically we left the city of Tokyo unexplored for our next visit to Japan.
We are now in transit to SLC, and I still intend to go to work tomorrow.
A final note:
When you type: nihon no gohan wa oiishi desu
instead of: nihon no gohan ha oishi desu
and let microsoft's text input methods convert to japanese for you (allowing them to choose the kanji)
you end up with: 日本語ご飯輪おい意思です
instead of: 日本のご飯はおいしです
which means (according to google translate): Is a Japanese rice wheel nephew intention
instead of: Japanese food is delicious
