Our last Asian Adventure Part 1

So it's a bit late, but here is a snapshot of our last vacay in Japan!! No rain, eq's, or radiation was gonna hold us back. And we're really glad it didn't cuz Japan made it to the top of our favorite countries list. Check it out!

This is no ordinary vending machine cuz it gives you a ticket...

... and the ticket gets you one of these!

"Harajuku girls, you got the wicked style
I like the way that you are
I am your biggest fan, oh"

Before Jennifer scalded her mouth with the nastiness that is octopus balls

Rain or shine, women will shop

And men will wear ridiculous hats

By ridiculous, I mean AWESOME

On our hunt for a Harajuku girl we found this and we think it counts

Rock on Rockabillies! -Yoyogi Park

Two cool cats!

Say cheese! or just stare angrily, your choice

You know even though we had only 1 beer, we felt really drunk. -Yebisu Beer Museum

The Whos and Whats of Icheon Ceramic Village

Who: Johnifer, Paul, Cecil

What: Icheon Ceramic Village

When: June 26th 2011

Where: Icheon, South of Seoul

Why: Because it's cool. And...we tried to go there several months ago, however, we read the information       too fast and though it was in Incheon not Ichon.  After several hours of hiking around, we realized we weren't in the right place.  This time we had Cecil on our side  and we were determined to see Korea's famous ceramic skills.

He said: "More soju please!"

She said: "My favorite parts were seeing traditional kilns, eating lots of food, and going to a café called 'Daily Brown'. "

The good: Easy to get too and has something for everyone's ceramic style

The bad: No food in the village and some pieces were too pricey

The ugly: John after too much soju

This is where they grow all their tourists

Some of the beautiful plates

And vases

This was our lunch spread, it was all you can eat too

The after lunch stop, everyone has to have some daily brown

Stamp-a-licious
