Day 1 in Japan: Jess W.M


What a long trip, over 16 hours of sitting in a plane really takes a tole on you. Going from Ottawa to Chicago, Chicago to Tokyo, Tokyo to Nagoya. Then we took a train to where are right now, a village called Takayama. The train system in Japan must be the best in the world. Got a good night sleep in Takayama but not long enough. We woke up early to travel to a near by village called Shirakawa-go Village, where we got to see what it was like for traditional farmers with thatched roofs. What an experience. We also go to tour the mountain, and got to see some amazing waterfalls and fall colours. We had our first Rama noodle meal for dinner and lunch. Also the Japanese people are very friendly but I still cant read a single sign! Tomorrow I am off to register at COP 10. :)
