Was going to mention that the splotches and blotches makes me feel like a disco ball.

I'm back!
So here's the obligatory photo overload.
I took over 1,500 photos so it was hard to whittle them down.
I could quite easily do one post each on all of the amazing food we ate,
all of the super cute and pretty things I bought,
not to mention the general beauty of Japan in general.
There is literally just so much to do and see,
and after 2 packed weeks we barely even touched the surface!
We had the best time, and I have to say i'm almost
sad to be back home. I've had just over a week to adjust
and I still feel like I miss it.
Everything just seems to be 10 x more fun in Japan.
I almost don't want to mention it, however I think it's
nice for people to know how things are going over there.
The Japanese have to be the most resilient, patient, generous,
polite, and SWEETEST people I have ever met.
They seem to be picking themselves up and getting on with life
in the most positive way that they can,
with a big smile on their faces!
There are still alot of fundraising efforts to help the people
affected in the north, so if you'd like to help out in any way,
please visit the Red Cross here.
I am SO glad we went ahead with our trip.
I actually can't wait to go back!
P.S
Please could I ask that you don't re-post these images without permission,
as they are all our personal memories from our trip.
But I of course wanted to share some with you! :)
Thanks x
Same Day
I've posted photos from this day before. But it was just such a memorable day that I can't help but excavate even more. This is it I believe.
