Nov.13 (on Nov.12 we just stayed at our aunts house all day then went to our cousins house to sleep) We woke up at 7:30 excited to get on the road to go to Tokyo, Disneyland! We ate breakfast quickly then waited outside for our cousins friend to come and take some people to Disneyland because there were 11 of us and only eight seats. The ride there was about 1 hour and a half, plus parking which took 10 minutes. We ate lunch that my aunts, grandma and my mom packed right when we got there because the food is expensive in Disneyland. All of us went in to the "Land" after everyone was full of food. When we payed for admission we met my Dad's good friend Yuko Saito. She lives in Fukushima, Japan the place where the nuclear vessels blew up and spread out radiation all over the area. So we took a picture of us kids and Eeore from Winnie the pooh. Disneyland was extremely crowded and had so many things going on but we decided to go into "The Enchanted Forest." Inside were these birds(not real) just singing songs to us that were about some big kahuna but I had no clue whatsoever because it was in Japanese. After this um… bird dance/sing thingy we went to line up for the number 1 ride (drumroll please, you don't need to) " The BigThunder Mountain"(YAY). It was a long wait 100 minutes(1hour 40 minutes)! But the ride was quite fun with a train leading you down a (fake) mountainside with you inside a minecart going very fast, almost crashing into a rock (whooosh) you go under it. So yeah, pretty complicated!! After the mountain we went to walk around but no rides were short wait time so we went to a CaptainEO movie made in 3-D.The movie starred Michael Jackson and was made before the accident that happened to him so it was an older movie but was tweaked a bit in the pat few years. It was so 3-D that when someone sneezed water sprayed our faces or when the spaceship got shot in the movie light quickly flickered as sparks, it was really cool! After the movie we sat down and had some pizza, I had sausage pizza. We lined up for a ride called Space Mountain but my aunt found another ride with no wait so we went there. The other ride was called Star Tours the ultimate star wars experience(yeah). So there was nearly nobody inside, it had a section where you just walk around and look at various robots from star wars talking in Japanese at you. But the second part was where we hopped onto a spaceship that was just moving on the spot but the screen in front of us and the synchronized motions of the ship felt like we were flying through the galaxy of star wars!

uco It was so nice to see you all at TDL! Thanks for letting me join : ) Boon-Hwa san, sorry I didn't get to say good bye when I left, and sorry I missed to pay for the pizza!! (let Rick pay for mine :-p) Rick, you are a lucky guy to have such a beautiful family! Hope to see you again and chat sometime when you get back and have some time!! Adam, you sure are good at writing. Reading your blog takes me back to the magical world. Please come back soon and let's try TDS next time! You probably can travel by yourself after this trip? You are always welcome to stay at my place (things should be settled very soon here in Fukushima, maybe not the whole prefecture, but at least the area where I live and where I would take you.) My dad says he's happy to show his swords to you when you come (which your dad couldn't see ;-D!) Evan, Kyle and Issac, I was so amazed to see how time flies and you are big by now. Have more and more fun in Korea and Thailand!! Miss you all already! yuko
