So, I decided to have something  a little different for a change. I tried to have some Fugu, one of the most poisonous foods in the world. In fact, this could KILL if done incorrectly. I'm going to be honest, I was pretty scared to try this. luckily, I made it out alive. I said to myself that i'm not going to do that again.]]> 2017-03-07 20:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/158494846 22lucas_plummer https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160361601 This is the Japanese flag.

I got there at around 11:00 PM, which I not that it wouldn't be that busy. Boy was I wrong. There were what seemed like millions of people rushing by going to there night jobs, or coming home from work after a long day, and people on there phones talking Even though it was night, it was bright as day with the many lights from buildings and neon lights from ads. "this is going to be great." I said to myself]]> 2017-03-16 19:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160644986 22lucas_plummer https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160646962 As I felt very excited to be in Japan, I still had a lot of sleeping to do. one of my friends told me to stay at this address, for a surprise. I didn't think anything of it. I mean, whats the worst that can happen? I made it to this very fancy hotel building, thinking about what the rooms would be like. Well, turns out that the "room" was around the size of a coffin! Thats right, I stayed at a capsule hotel, and its only a bed, some sort of droor to put small items in. So, im standing there with my luggage, and I had to put it in a locker for my stuff. Turns out, I slept like a baby]]> 2017-03-16 19:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160646962 22lucas_plummer https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160879072 At Japan, I knew that there was many attractions to go to. So, I started my little tour of Tokyo. In Tokyo, the first sight I went to was the Tokyo Tower, which stood up at 1,092 feet. Its red white. (more information on Tokyo Tower slide). Next was the Tokyo Sky Tree. It is a broadcaster, a restaurant and an observation tower. Tomorrow, i'll do the natural side of sight seeing.]]> 2017-03-17 18:57:50 UTC https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160879072 22lucas_plummer https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160881823 My final tour of Japan was going to be the biggest one of all. Mt Fuji. Mt. Fuji stands at a whopping 12,389 feet! Im not much of a hiker, so I decided to not go the whole way. I had all my gear ready, and off I went. It was a long hike and it was very tiring hike, and the air got thinner, but the sight was gorgeous. But then I had a sinking feeling. I had to go back ALL way down. Yay, more hiking. But seriously, it was great.]]> 2017-03-17 19:14:18 UTC https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160881823 22lucas_plummer https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160883079 That day, it was hard to leave Japan. There was still so much that I wanted to do, but I still had so much fun. I loved hiking up mount Fuji, and going to Tokyo Tower. Oh, lets not forget the risk I took trying the fugu! I also enjoyed the experience of the capsul hotel. I loved the culture, and how busy it was. It seemed like that everyone had to do something. But after my trip, I hoped to visit again. Good bye Japan!]]> 2017-03-17 19:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160883079 22lucas_plummer https://padlet.com/22lucas_plummer/7ie2c231fx65/wish/160883724 Tokyo tower stands at 332.9 meters
