JAPAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to Margie & Stan's Japan Adventure - our photo blog while living on MCAS Iwakuni in beautiful Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan from 8/2004 to present. My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

Looking toward the kitchen (under the big fish) through the short red noren (curtains). This is where the fried dishes are prepared, but everything else is prepared inside the rotating conveyer. Those hanging signs adevertise the specials, but we can't read them. They do have an American menu though, so that really helps. They know us here now, and usually begin to make our favorites when we come through the door!















Well, our tummies are full and it's time to head home. It's dark, so we will be wearing our reflective gear and turning on our front headlights (mine operates from my pedaling, but Stan's is battery-operated.) We'll also turn on our flashing red taillights. Of course, it helps that we only ride on the sidewalks when we're outside the gates.




















Well, it's been a great Christmas Day, although we missed all of our family and friends back in the US. Please know that we've been thinking about all of you today & we love you!

Happy Christmas to you both. Can't help but leave a comment. I went to Japan last June and I am awestruck by its beauty. I stayed one glorious week in Kiyosato and enjoyed my stay immensely. You are very lucky to be living there :D.
