White Day

In Japan there is a holiday called White Day, similar to Valentine's Day except the tradition is that men give presents to the women and on Feb. 14th the women give presents to the men. Donald and I went downtown to check out a popluar shrine. Upon arriving we couldn't resist going to McCafe and ordering a soy chai and caramel latte. Afterwards we walked down the outdoor/indoor market. It was covered from above while being on the street. We found a place with grilled and sashimi bluefish, which Donald declared as his favorite fish, which tended to shock locals since many of them found the taste too strong. We ate outside next to the multimedia vending machines (they play music and videos).



Our adventure finally led us to the shrine just after the sun had set. It took us a while to circumnavigate the stairs. Once we reached the top we did our prayers and got our fortunes.
