Butterfly in the Sky

I haven't been using my new love-of-my-life camera lately so here are some more shots from my trip to Japan last year. It's been a pretty long time since I posted any of those, and these are of butterflies so you wouldn't even have known if I didn't tell you. There was museum-y place with bug/butterfly displays as well as an enclosed area where live butterflies flew around that we could just walk around in. It was pretty awesome. We just had to watch where we stepped! 

Monkeying Around

I don't have any new photos from my film camera, so we're back to Japan photos this week. I really must go somewhere else. Next week I should not only have photos taken on film, but also from NJ instead of PA! w00t w00t! Anyway. There was this place in Japan that just had all these monkeys just walking around, hanging around. We bought monkey food to feed them which is why they were all gathered around us. It was pretty neat (yep, I really just said "neat") and they were super cute! 

I have no idea what this sign says, don't ask.

I look really "adult" in this photo. That's my bro. We look more like each other than either of our rents.

Escape From Japan

After surviving my really long flight all the way to Japan, I still had to get back a week later. Since I had to work, I was coming back a week before my parents. This would be the first time I ever had to navigate my way through air ports in my life and I was already fairly nervous. To make it worse, there was something wrong with my plane and it was delayed till the next day. The new flight was slightly later than the original time of my flight, turning my three hour layover in San Francisco into one hour. Here's what happened....

And He Shall Be My Squishy

You may have already guessed and yes these were taken at in Japan, in the Kyoto Aquarium I visited. I do have very similar photos from the Baltimore aquarium but why lie?   

I shall call him squishy.

And he shall be mine.

Statuesque

I can't say a whole lot about this because I couldn't keep track of all the different stuff we were seeing on this trip. But this is a huge statue that you can walk up inside of like the Statue of Liberty. Except this one is cooler because instead of being hollow it has stuff inside. Again, I don't really remember. None of the writing anywhere was in English which made it harder. Oh and I don't know what part of Japan it was in either. I think it was somewhere in Tokushima. Unless it wasn't. It was still really cool and there's me standing next to the tree so you can tell how huge it is.

That's gold, Jerry. Gold!

One of the prettiest things I saw on my trip to Japan, the Golden Pavilion.
