Summer Vacation


Ok so I was looking at the blog postings for this week and it just said to add a picture to your blog, and I thought if i'm going to add a picture I might as well say something about it too. This summer I went to Japan with my Aunt Kathy to visit my cousin Michael, who goes to school there. This is a picture of my aunt and I on our first night there. We went to a sushi place, obviously, and we were both trying our first piece of sushi in Japan. We probably went back to this restaurant about four more times throughout our stay. It was reallyclose to my cousins apartment, also it was a lot cheaper than here in the United States. Heres another little interesting bit of information. Iver in Japan you don't tip. They just include it in the check every time. It feels really strange to walk out of a restaurant and not leave a tip. Well it did until I got back to the U.S. Then it felt weird to leave one!

Hey Jessie! Happy belated birthday! I really like your blog. Your trip to Japan sounds really fun. I wish I could go to Japan just to eat the sushi! I think a plane ride to Japan is 13 or 14 hours. That must have felt like the longest plane trip ever! I think the longest plane ride I have ever been on is 12 hours. Thank goodness for those in-flight movies! I'll see you tomorrow!
