sushi, zoo keeping day, fireworks






The other day we went to a restrant called the rotating sushi bar. It is very cool because it has a long convayor belt that goes round the middle and u just take of what u want and when u`ve finished a dish you put it down the chute. every 5 plates you get a little game and if u win you get a prize. We ate 52 dishes!Louis Woodward

Tenjin Matsuri festival and the annoying deers






On the 25th we went to Tenjin festival.The first float was a bit scary because they were carrying it and there were people on it.There were horses and cows.We had to stand behind the white line in case the bull carged or the horses reared,bucked or it went out of control. Charlie Woodward








At the festival there was this stand which had a trough full of goldfish and you had to catch them on a paper net and put it in a bowl. If you caught more than 5 fish you win 2 goldfish.Louis Woodward








This was very similar to the gold fish catching but with baby turtles.It was really hard .You had to catch 5 turtles to win 1.It was so hard because you were only allowed to use a paper net.I got 1. On Louis` 1st try his net broke right through. So he got 0.Charlie Woodward








This photo is at a place called Nara. There are hundreds of tame Deer and you could buy food for them. Here i had some food and About 10 deer are try ing to get it. They were realy pushing! 1 tried to eat my t shirt! The horns were quite painfull! LW

Fun days



There was a solar eclipse the other day! No Joke, there was!! Only at the southern islands could see a full eclipse so it didnt go dark. We went to the science museum to see it so we could get a veiwer. Louis W



Yesterday 24th ,we went to watch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. It was really good but it wasn`t scary. At 1 point it shocks you but you quickly get over it.I won`t tell you what happens or it might spoil it when you watch it. Charlie Woodward

In Japan there`s lots of cicadas.In the morning they wake you up because they are so noisey. They are quite big , about as big as your thumb. Charlie Woodward






We bought 2 pet bugs in Japan. You have to feed them jelly and water melon! It is the type with a horn but it cant really hurt you because it it has nothing to nip against. L.W







This is us at the Universal Studios. We had just came off a ride called jaws. It was very scary because big robotic sharks came right out of the water and tryed to eat you. CharlieWoodward
