Hi Everybody. I'm in Japan still, but in a different area of Japan. Remember in my first blog I said I wanted to go to Kyoto most because they were going to dress my Mom up like a Geisha girl for her birthday? Well, now I'm here!
                                                                                                              
On my Mom's birthday, they dressed all four of us in kimonos, which are traditional Japanese clothes. So, me, my Dad and Ty thought that it was really cool that we got to dress up too. Once we were all in our kimonos, we got to walk around in the Gion district, where real Geishas live. It was hard to walk in the sandals, but it was still really fun. We liked exploring the back streets of Kyoto because there are temples, shrine gates, and cool stores. We even saw a real Geisha.

One day in Kyoto, we went to a Japanese movie amusement park called Uzumasa Toei Village. It was really cool and we saw a real ninja show starring a famous, Japanese actor. I even got to battle a samurai with a sword. It was so much fun. We went to a haunted house and it really seemed like it was haunted. We also got to see where they film movies and how they do special effects. I had a really super good day there.

Hi, my name is Stefan. I'm going on a year-long trip around the world. At this point, you are probably wondering which places I am looking most forward to. The answer is Kyoto, which is in Japan. I'm excited to go there because they are going to dress my Mom as a geisha girl. That will be fun for all of us!

Below are a few questions that I figured you readers might be wanting to ask me, and of course, my answers to them:

1. Are you going to miss your friends? Yes.
2. Are you excited for your trip? Yes.
3. Are you going to miss your home? Yes, I lived in it my whole life!
4. Where are some places you're going?  We're going to Hawaii, Kyoto, Japan, Cape Cod, China, Japan, Africa, New Zealand, and Australia (and that's just SOME of the places we are going).
