Japan

Hi everyone I have been in Japan for about two weeks now. It has been awesome in Japan. I will be telling you a few of the things I did.

Plane trip
We had driven to Auckland it took about 6 hours.We had stayed at our Aunts and Uncles for the night and left early in the morning. The plane trip was 10 hours but it only felt like 8 hours! I had watched three movies and played a few video games. The food on the plane tasted delicious.


Pokemon Shop
It had taken one bus and one train to get to the pokemon shop. I had gotten a few pokemon cards and I had gotten a pokemon book to put my cards inside. I had also played a video game but I had lost. In the end I ended up getting charizard and getting a headache.


Disneyland
To get to Disneyland it took a bus and two trains. It was so hot in Disneyland it was about 29C. We had stayed at Disneyland for one night and two days. The thing I loved the most was probably the roller coasters. They were so fun to ride on. There was one called splash mountain it was so phenomenal. But my most favourite roller coaster was space mountain because it was in the dark and it was full of surprises because you couldn't see!

Big Buddha

Big Buddha was first built in 1252. But it was destroyed by strong winds so it was rebuilt in the 15th century. Big buddha was a lot huger than I thought it would be. There was even a thing when you had to put your head in incense and put a coin in a box and make a wish. The city Kamakura where we are now was the capital of Japan from 1192 to 1333. That's why there are so many temples and shrines here. We visited Hase Temple. There was Kannon inside the building but noone is allowed to take photos.
