today was our last day in Japan. We have had a great time, my only wish was that there was more opportunity to upload my blog. I have kept a diary, so i will make a photo album up with that in it. The photo is of Joshua and I with our home stay family. Minori is 12 and I am standing next to her mum Yuka. they didnt speak much english, so we communicated through the use of an Ipad and my iphone. We enjoyed our stay there. I guess that my next login will either...

Our first beautiful day here in Japan. We went to the peace park today, while we were there, a group of 5/6yr old school kids came to bring their cranes. Our kids had their photos taken with the kids. Then our kids sang them a song, and they sang "when you wish upon a star" to us. All the mum's had tears in their eyes. So beautiful.

We just went through the peace museum. Omg, what those people went through was just terrible. The sad thing is, people still have not learnt that war is not the answer.

What a huge 40 hours or do its been. Caught the train to Melbourne, the bus to the airport, a plane to Singapore, another plane to Japan, a train into Tokyo. We have been to a mall type thing at the train station, plus then we went out to a Shinto shrine. Caught trains back and forward. Finally got here to our hotel...Shinagawa Prince Hotel. Had a much needed shower, and then some tea...McDonald's! Don't say it!!! Well I'm super tired. Off to Disneyland tomor...

We have arrived in Japan. My phone is about to go flat. So this is just a check in.
