Passport Diaries

Where Globe-Trotting meets Beach-Combing

December 2, 2008 Japan

Yokohama

Chris is pretty high up there! Chris and I had a fun date the night before Thanksgiving. We took the train over to Yokohama, a 25-minute ride from the station near base, and took the second-fastest elevator in the world to the observatory at the top of Landmark Tower, the tallest building in Japan. You can see Tokyo Tower on the Tokyo skyline, the bay, all the cars…it was pretty nice. There’s a fancy-dancy mall that was closed by that time of night, and we enjoyed some hot chocolate before training our way home.

This guy is pretty good!

    hey mari. Love the pics! Looks like you’re having fun. Glad to know you have a place to live and have your cats! Is there a space on the floor that is bayer-sized?? Say hi to your fam (meaning Mouse and Pounce and Chris too).

    It sounds like you guys are having a blast! i’m not sure if I will be able to pick up and move to Japan when that time comes for us but I think it would be awesome!! Space-A traveling is another thing I would love to try someday…but alas, who knows. Glad to hear you got into the house, I love the soji screens!! Hope that all is going well with both of you…any word of a job over there yet??
