Geisha Dance
These young ladies are amazing. Hi everyone,
(Barb, my room-mate Leona and I are still in awe at the fact that you used to babysit her children! What a small world indeed! The things I learn about my friends when I travel around the world!!!!)
Wow. What an evening we had! We went to a famous restaurant for Shabu-Shabu. (It's essentially a fondue dinner concept, only instead of using oil to deep fry everything, you use a broth.) Dinner was Miso Soup, rice, Japanese pickles, and various items for the Shabu: beef, veggies, tofu, etc. Yum. Yum. Yum! You will see from the pictures that we had a ball!
Then came the entertainment. Geisha girls entertained, and helped us with dinner as well. Then there was the Drum performance. Awesome. All of it! We had an opportunity to pose for pictures with the Geisha girls, and then to try on the kimonos as well. They are incredibly beautiful! The pictures all speak for themselves.
We leave for Hong Kong in the morning and are there until Friday afternoon, at which time we leave for Viet Nam. This is all just so much fun! Two more of my "new friends" have joined in

They are all so beautiful and gracious. on the blog activities: Tina and Anne, both from Toronto. (P.S. When you leave comments/messages on the blogs, would you please just add your last initial. There are 3 Dianes, 3 Elizabeths, etc. following along......)
Signing off from Japan. Sayonara!

This is what the internet was made for!
Good morning/afternoon/evening, Happy Pat! My family and I are following your travels with great interest. When the little ones asked where Japan is, their big brother rolled his eyes (as only a big brother can) and exclaimed, 'It's ONLY on the other side of the WORLD! Canada and Alberta aren't the only places in the world, you know!' This is what the internet was made for - banking and travel blogs! I think this is brilliant! Keep your stories coming. It rained all night - very sloppy on the roads but better than a skating rink! Shine on, you crazy diamond.
