So my trip around Japan has come down to the last city we will visit, which is Nagoya. Since there wasn't much more really to see on Osaka, we decided to check out this neighboring city, which is Japan's fourth largest city. It is the home of Toyota Motor Company. Aside from that, Nagoya is a modern city with great architectural places to visit. Coming from LA, I wasn't too interested in seeing that unless it was something extraordinary. Unfortunately, Nagoya didn't offer us too much to visit that caught our attention. So I am not going to get into great detail about my experience here, except that it's worth a little side trip. The only points of interest we checked out was Nagoya Castle, which was actually the feuding castle to Osaka Castle. The other place the Kanaan Temple, a Buddhist temple that is smack dab in the middle of modern buildings
So tomorrow we're headed back to Tokyo for one last day to take of any unfinished business, like to say goodbye to our friends "The Fun Girls" at Roppongi, j/k

Comments!

. I know some of you reading are wondering, where are all the crazy party pictures. Honestly aside from Tokyo, Japan is a real conservative country and they don't party like the people back home. Also, almost everyday as you have read, we have been on the move 24/7 and most nights we're just fine having a great meal and re-energizing for tomorrow. Most of the things to see and experience mostly occurs during the daytime and most locals are content in just knocking back a couple beers and calling it a day. So because of this and due to popular demand, my last blog will be dedicated to the women of Japan. So for the fellas following my journey, this is for you guys, unless you ladies are into that stuff which is perfectly fine with me too! But keep in mind, I did not enjoy posting photos of beautiful Japanese women on the net and only agreed to because I was granted permission by the all and mighty Lindsey. So thank her!
     On a final point, I hope you girls and guys have enjoyed reading the places we have visited, the local foods we have eaten, and the pictures we have taken through out this trip. But these were just the highlights and there has been so much more I cannot put into words or pictures like all the side stories, jokes, and new friends we have made along the way. I hope everyone of you can also travel to Japan and have your own story to tell. So see guys back home.
