There were a couple of weekends we had to head to Tokyo so I could visit a doctor who spoke English and practiced Western medicine. Everything’s fine, but because we had other things going on that we couldn’t miss, we’d do a day-trip to Tokyo. I’d go to the doctor in the morning and then we’d eat good food and see a little of the city before heading back in the evening. Even though they were fast trips, we still made use of our time and did a lot!

The Shinkansen (bullet train) - We live four hours from Tokyo but the bullet train gets us there in 1.5 hours!

This is a Thai restaurant we found in Tokyo...we always make sure to stop here now! We really miss Thai food from Chicago!

This guy was acting as an "American in a hurry". This was at a train station and he just stood there and everyone just stopped and watch him stand there.





That’s so funny, I always go to Starbuck’s twice when we’re in Marquette!
The American in a Hurry looks more real than the Japanese sleeping on the train!
