Manga Mania Field Trip

I am taking a course at AIU called Manga Mania, and as you might have guessed... it is about Manga. So, appropriately we went to a manga museum. Pictures start at #32
Although the museum was kind of boring (all in Japanese and about an artist I did not know), the place we went to after that was soooo much fun! There was a castle called "Wonder Castle" which was basically a 4 story fun house. And boy, it was so much fun! The most scary, and thrilling attraction was the "Namahage slide" where you dropped down 1 story super fast. Really fun, but really scary to look at. (you can see pictures at 112 and 113)


Outside the castle there was also a flower and a Bonsai competition. It was super lovely to look at all the different types of Bonsai and all the flowers made the dreary day much more lovely. And then we found the playground. It drew us like magnets- I mean, what College Student can resist a playground? Like moths to a fire, we just had to play there- and boy it was so much fun!!!

On our way home I bought some of the most yummy apples I have had in a long time, so juicy and red it is almost criminal.

All in all? A good field trip.
