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!

Interesting buildings and bicycles. No one wears a helmet here. Our Chinese guide told us that bicycles are still the major mode of transportation in Beijing. She said she has owned 2, but each was stolen (no crime in Beijing, though), so now she rides public transportation. She said she would never dream of driving in the city, although she & her husband do own a car for driving outside the city . . .
