Sam's Bar, Hiroshima

In 2006, we played Hiroshima and visited a
Disney Live!/Disney on Ice institution: Sam's Bar.
At Sam's, people from the shows sign the bathroom.
I signed the ceiling in 2006, you can see my 2006 signature next to the ceiling light.
Krista signs the ceiling too. Look, my signature is still there! Mark can't remember where
he signed the last time we were here.
Fluffy and Krista in front. Mark and me in the back.

Original 2006 signature.
This time, I sign the wall.

Miyajima, Japan

Itsukushima Shrine is a Shinto shrine.
It's often refered to as "the Torii in the water."



The Torii looks to be floating at high tide,
unfortunately, I only got to visit during low tide.


Miyajima Island is covered in wild deer.


This deer, walked up to me and ripped my map
out of my hands and started to eat it.
These deer are really not afraid of people,
I just sat right down to this one.





People stick coins in the cracks of the Torii to make a wish.






A Special Friend!

Keiko!
She surprised us with a visit!
I've missed her.
Mark is in the background.

Hello Kitty Land!

Steven with Mimmy
Steven was nice enough to go to Hello Kitty Land with me

They have an indoor parade.
Little Twin Stars

Hello Kitty


Then we take the boat ride:
Cinnamoroll



Restroom sign:

Then we go see a show.
Hello Kitty and the Wizard of Oz.






They follow the book rather than the movie.

And apparently they think the Wizard is Elvis.

And the Wicked Witch loves food.


Dear Daniel

Mama and Papa Kitty

Then Hello Kitty and her sister, Mimmy,
do some sort of werid dance together.

Big production number.
Steven and I try to get ourselves in the reflection.
