The Future of "Chris in Japan" and DisneySea

First I'd like address a question some people have asked me: What is going to happen to this blog when I leave Japan? That time is soon approaching, folks (August 21). I only have one week of classes left! To me it seems obviously strange to have a blog called "Chris in Japan" if I'm not in Japan, so it will indeed come to an end. I shall leave it online, but after a few updates from America, I will stop posting. Will I start a new blog? I haven't decided. But in the meantime, you can always check out my pics on Flickr. When not keeping a blog, I will probably put more interesting descriptions under my Flickr photos.

Now on to DisneySea. Satoko and I finally went there this past Monday. I don't know why it took me so long to finally go. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have done Disneyland twice, but it all worked out. Anyway, I give DisneySea a thumbs up. I liked the park design better than Disneyland. It's not as kid-oriented (you can even drink alcohol) and parts of it, especially the "Mediterranean Port" area, are quite beautiful. It all has an international flavor, and to my delight there was even a Mexican restaurant (rare in Japan). The rides were good, but did not have the classic feel of Disneyland, but that may simply be due to the fact that I'm experiencing these rides for the first time as an adult, not a kid.

On to the pics:



I won Chip in a game. At the top of this post you can see me sacrificing him to the gods.
