In Yokohama Japan


In Yokohama Japan

Oh, to go to Yokohama Japan

I am a huge fan of Japan. I have been told (and quite probably this is true) that I may have a slightly over-idealized view of Japan. However, to be fair, I have taken time to do my research and I feel I do know a little bit about many of the major problems with and in Japan. But I still want to go. I want to go to Kyoto, Tokyo, Yokohama Japan. I really would love to see it all, although I know that's probably not possible. Okay, all the major places (and a few minor ones, because you can't tell what a country or a people are really like until you've seen both).

What I wouldn't do in Yokohama Japan

Okay, let's just get this out of the way now. I would love to visit lots of things and places in Yokohama Japan. I would be very adventurous (I would like to think) and bold. But I don't think I have the guts or the willingness to go to something like in this video up there. Ugh, no thank you. I don't care if you have free tickets and you're first cousins with the contestant and there are backstage passes and it's a once in a lifetime opportunity in Yokohama Japan. No! I'll see you at the after party (actually, probably not, I'm not much of a partier; and besides, do they even have after parties for this kind of thing, even in Yokohama Japan, the other side of the world?).

What I'd love to do in Yokohama Japan

Oh my goodness, the list of things I would love to do in Yokohama Japan is probably way, way, way too long. I'd love to stay in a nice inn with an onsen (I love onsen!), I'd love to go to the family-owned specialty shops and restaurants, I'd love to shop there and bring home way more stuff from Yokohama Japan than I would ever use (not really, I hate having too much stuff), I'd love to see all the museums, go to all the parks, check out the temples, rave over the architecture. What wouldn't I love to do in Yokohama Japan (oh yeah, the wrestling thing). I'd love to go to gardens, attend a tea ceremony. Oh to attend a tea ceremony in Yokohama Japan! Pretty much I'd love to go there.

Shh, top secret Yokohama Japan wishes

Don't tell anybody I said this, but I would really love to live in Japan. Anywhere. Even Yokohama Japan (no, I don't hate Yokohama Japan, I've just never been a big city girl. But then, I've never tried to be).
