Yay, another great write-up! Did you investigate the sticker to see if it was scratch-and-sniff at least? Regardless, 5/6 on a quiz in another language ain't bad!

Wow! The deer in Kasuga Taisha! And I loved how you 'will replay this moment of peace' over and over. That's what defines a good trip-something that will stick with you forever!

The deer were so beautiful and serene--unless you had rice crackers in your hand! I will also remember watching people learn that lesson the hard way all day (myself included)

Really enjoyed reading this, Kim! Makes me hope that one day I can make it to Japan. Also I too was a longtime Nintendo Power subscriber. I also remember anxiously opening a box of Nintendo cereal and being mightily disappointed by it! By the sounds of your Nintendo commitment, you may have tried it too?
