That concludes my photoblog of my 4 years on Japan. I’m proud that my pictures have been getting better over the years. I went through them all again when I moved to Flickr and the difference from when I started out to now is noticeable. I will however, continue to post new photos about my adventures in Hawaii and elsewhere.

So I’ve made a few more Bead Sprites, these ones were pretty fun. I found a YouTube video showing how to make the Minecraft Creep:

Late November K and I took the train up to Aomori to go visit the Aomori Museum of Art to see the Studio Ghibli exhibit. The exhibit was nice, it was concept art and story boards from all their movies. Some really gorgeous stuff. They had a pretty big store full of ghibli stuff, we picked up some fun and cute things like folders and stuffed animals.

After the museum we went over to the Sannai Maruyama site. I really love the clay pottery and figures they’ve dug up.

We wandered around the outside train station before catching the train back home and they had these interesting lantern displays set up.

A few weeks later the first weekend of December, right before we left the country I went with 2 friends. Everything was getting decorated for Christmas. We stopped at an anime and manga shop, Village Vanguard a couple malls and then went to Ghibli exhibit. It was a fun trip!
