Hey yall! TGIF, right?
This week was such a blur for me. I tell you what, that jet lag is rough!
But I think I am finally over it. And now I am ready to share some pics from my trip with you.
Just so we're clear....these are not in any way related to teaching :)
I have a lot of pictures, but I will try and condense them as much as possible.
There might be a funny little video at the end. I'm just saying...
These are just some of the pictures from around the island and funny little signs.
 |
| "Squatty potties" and yes....I did have to use these on a couple of occasions! |
 |
| I was sooo happy to see a McDs in the Tokyo airport! But I didn't order the "Big America" :) ...I prefer my burgers sans egg. |
 |
| This is a baseball stadium...the Okinawans LOVE baseball! |
 |
| There were vending machines everywhere! The cool thing about these? You could get cold OR hot beverages! |
 |
| All the cars and trucks were sooo tiny! I really felt like a giant...I was so amused by these! |
 |
| See? Told ya....tiny truck. |
 |
| All the English signs seemed to be just a little off... |
 |
| The ferris wheel that is right across the street from my sister's house. My niece can see this from her bedroom! |
 |
| Random dragon statue on the side of the road... |
 |
| All of the trees were sooo cool! |
 |
| Mmmmmm....yummy garlic fried rice :) |
 |
| Watch out for habu! Apparently, these poisonous snakes are all over the island...at least, the signs are... |
 |
| Cocok toes! We had the most amazing pedicures and got to choose our nail design from a huge book! |
 |
| Pineapple Park! Did you know that pineapple means pines and apples? This is what we learned on our tour....ha! |
 |
| Giant Shisa dog statue |
 |
| Pretty rock...noooo clue what the sign says :) |
 |
| My niece and I |
 |
| We went to this Japanese steak house, and the walls and hallway were covered with business cards...it looked so cool! |
Whew, that was quite the ordeal! Apparently, the picture uploader is quite finicky. It is done with me, and I am over it.
I will be back tomorrow with some pics of the beautiful beaches and coasts!
If you stuck with me, I will reward you with this video.
You have my permission to laugh...
Seriously, I landed like that every single time. Actually, that's not true. I did manage to land on my feet for the very last one...but it sounds much more dramatic when I say every single time :)
Those are fun pics. I'm glad you had a great time!

HAHAHA! That was a great video. It looks SUPER FUN! I am loving your pictures. I loved the trees, the fried rice, and the pedicure is so precious!!
ReplyDeleteHave you read David Sedaris' When You Are Engulfed in Flames? It includes a short story about what his life was like when he lived in Japan. It includes some funny reflections on the wording of stuff in English like your signs - super funny.

Oh my goodness! Looking at these pictures just takes me back in time. I lived in Misawa for 3 1/2 years and it was such an experience. Thank you for posting your pictures I love them :)

"Our pursuing tastiness will never stop." Good motto! I just found your blog and I would read it just for the cuteness factor. Everything else is a bonus!

Haha, we thought it was hilarious! For the rest of the trip, all we kept saying was "What a so tasty!"

I love the pictures! They reminded me of when I lived in Thailand for a summer!
ReplyDeleteI try not to remember the squatty potties. That one looked sooo much nicer than the ones I always had to end up using! haha!
Love all of the pictures!

Wow, Thailand! And yes, those squatties were actually pretty nice (they were at the airport), but I did see some not-so-nice ones...yikes!
DeleteNatalie
Looks like a blast!
ReplyDeleteI love that you were rocking the Gator shirt in Japan. =)

Whoa, whoa, whoa...let me clear something up for you. I am a Georgia Dawg through and through. I had to borrow a shirt from my sister, and I immediately balked at the idea of wearing a shirt with a gator on it! But it was actually a shirt from my nephews little football team, so I relented.
DeleteGators? Yuck :)
Natalie
LOVE those pedicures!! How cool!!!
