The end of Japan and the beginning of Viet Nam So the day after we went to that place called Edo we explored these old Japanese temples that were up in the hills of Nikko. That was really cool except for the fact that it was raining and I had a horrible headache. The temples were amazing and beautiful. On one of the temples were three monkeys that are holding their hands over their mouths eyes and ears. You know, hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil. That is were it came from on a big temple in the remote hills of a Japanese village were when you are walking around in the hills you feel like Hannibal Lector is going to jump out and harvest your organs. Ain't that just dandy? After we visited the temples we went back to Tokyo for two days and just explored. There is a giant space needle there and a big huge flame except it's on it's side so how are we supposed to know it's a flame???? Who puts a flame sideways? It kid of looked like something else and Franklin I bet you'll get a kick out of it if you look it up. Also the last Sunday we were their, there was a small earthquake. Nothing to get exited about, it just rocked our hotel back and forth woke us up and scared the s*** out of us. It's all good though, nobody got hurt but it was pretty scary. After exploring Tokyo for two days we got on a plane and flew to Bangkok where we transferred to a flight to Hanoi Viet Nam. Sorry to get your hopes up Aaron. We got off the plane last night and took a taxi straight to our airport which would have been fine if we hadn't almost died at least four times. Our taxi driver had one phone in each hand and was texting and talking on them all while driving and trying to avoid the thousands of motorbikes that were swarming around us with no care if they cut right in front of us and almost hit innocent pedestrians. It was scary as crap and today was no different. Just trying to cross the street is taking your life in your hands. Hundreds of motorbikes and cars come rushing past without even bothering to stop to let you walk across the street. And even when there are stoplights some motor bikes stop and then start going again without even waiting for the light to change. It's freakin' pandemonium and yet it's completely normal for these people. It's five fifteen now and at six we are meeting a friend of one of our friends for dinner. Please comment, text me email me. My email is gvemeraldwolfe@gmail.com. Have fun in school and I'll see you all soon.
