Things we love about Japan!

Though we have been rather busy and not been able to blog, we have not been up to anything too exciting, so we thought we would show you some of the things we love about Japan!

First, we have *all of the best American fast food restaurants:

These are the only American restaurants so we must be happy with what we have.

In Japan, or at least in Hirosaki, there are miirors at the corners/turns of every road so you can see if a car is coming around the corner.. . it may seem silly but it has probably saved our lives many a time while riding our bicycles!!

As you can see if you look very closely in the mirror on the left a big bus was coming our way, and seeing it in the mirror we were able to dodge it!

Almost everyone rides their bikes so there are always huge parking spaces for bikes, and they are always at the front of the store.. . talk about rock-star parking!

You have to take your shoes off whenever you go into a nice restaurant, store, or any house.. makes picking out your shoes easy since you won't be wearing them anyway

And last, but certainly not least, they have monopoly, in Japanese/English! It's not quite as good as Settlers, but we will have to make do for now :)

Well, we will blog more later when we have some exciting news to share or just to share some more of Japan with you! We love and miss you all very much!
