I went on a tour of Misawa with a group of people from the base. We saw a Buddhist Temple, an old Samurai House, had a little class on Japanese culture, ate some sushi, and went to a little shopping center. It was very educational and a lot of fun! Just wish Craig could have been there - but I guess someone has to work!

| Check out that bling-bling! |
 |
| The little box to the left is where you light incense for you deceased loved one. |
 |
| I didn't quite catch the whole story behind these little cubby holes with dishes in them. But what I understand is that the families come and have a meal together to remember there deceased loved one. |

| Anyone know what that says? |
