Here are some more photos from my trip to Hakone (the lovely place about two hours from Tokyo). I got them yesterday, and i couldn't wait to post them on the hipforums. That's me I explored Hakone via ropeway car. At first, it scared the shit out of me, but I enjoyed the ride. Actually, you can see Mt. Fuji in the ropeway car, but I didn't get a great view of Mt. Fuji. This is a nice pirate ship my buddy Scott and I were on in Hakone Here's a nice, little volcano.
Rashaad! I always love your pics! I know exactly what you were thinking in Hakone - "Wow...this place is almost as beautiful as Jersey! I really miss my beautiful home state" & then your eyes got all misty... Miss talkin with you man...msg me soon! xoxo cortnee
Rashaad~ hey great pics of Japan! What is up with the ship? Is that a real pirate ship from the olden days or just some kind of prop for tourists? Japan is really a site to see....is that an active volcano? I know I owe you a messege....I have been lazy, hehe. Talk to ya soon!
Hey man. The pics look great. Have you been to Kumomoto yet? Thats where my mum used to live, apparently its quite nice but inever went over there.
Thanx for all the nice replies. Here are some answers to the questions: Fleassy: Unfortunately, I haven't been to Kumamoto - it's not too far from Nagasaki. Actually, I was thinking about going to Nagasaki in July, but I thought it would be a little expensive to go there. I still would like to go to Nagasaki. granola.kiss: I will PM you soon Take care and have fun Alexandria: I think the pirate ships are a bit of a prop for tourists. Actually, I just read they're cruise boats that are designed to look like pirate ships. Hakone is quite a beatiful place, and I enjoyed being there a lot. Hopefully, I'll get to see more of Japan soon. I can't wait to hear from you soon I'll continue to post more photos of my travels (In the coming months, I think I'll be going to Thailand and the UK). Take care and have fun
Hey Rashaad! Wonderful pics! Makes me all the more eager to go! (I know, I always say that.) That pirate ship looks awesome! Wow. And the ropeway car? Eep! You've got more guts than I do, that's for sure. I didn't know you were going to the UK, too! That's great! Where in the UK--do you know yet? I'll see you around! Have a blast.
Ginge: Hi It's great hearing from you To be honest, the ropeway car scared the shit out of me at first. But then I became more comfortable in it, and I enjoyed it a lot. Watashi wa takai tokoro ga kowai desu (I'm scared of heights)! I saw Mt. Fuji from the inside of a ropeway car - well, at least, I think I did (My buddy Scott pointed to Mt. Fuji). I'm 95% sure I'm going to the UK in September. I'm going there to visit a friend (who is not on the hipforums), and I'll be spending a lot of time in Wales, where her family lives. But the plan is for me to end my trip in London. I'm so excited about it - I just wish September would come! Anyway, I'm very happy to hear from you
