Nagasaki Atom Bomb Memorial

It is customary for visiting school classes and other groups to offer strings of a thousand origami cranes. The Pirate was very impressed.

First night in Japan

Having finally reached our beds for the night, the Pirate was in it before I could even undress. We had to share the bed though. Luckily the Pirate was too tired to try anything. After all, you never know, with pirates.

Hello Kitty Bus!!!

Hey, it don't get much more Japanese than this right?

Paying a visit to the emperor

Although "paying a visit" would be a bit civilized to express the pirate's intentions once he got inside the palace grounds. We decided not to risk it and went back to the train station.

Dread Pirate hits Tokyo!

So we were all a bit tired from the flight and things but we found a way to visit Tokyo on our way to Fukuoka. Here the Dread Pirate is just done rubbing his sleepy eyes and gazing around. (Probably trying to spot Godzilla... this is the Pirate after all.) (No big giant newts spotted in Tokyo that day.)

J-C says hi.

Peace!

The Pirate checks the sound check.

I mean, check it out! (Yeah yeah, pirate, very funny. We get it. Sheesh.)
