I do have a few pictures of signs, that’s for sure.
Yesterday was bad for jet lag. Whoboy, woke at 3am.

Comic #725 – “Pranking”
The girls were constantly asking me to put Cramp-X™ in the comic. They were relentless.
So many things to update about the Japan trip, and I have to put in a comic about Cramp-X™. Sheesh.
Comic #724 – “Omikuji”
The fortunes we got were in Japanese. I posted mine on facebook. My cousin told me that it’s very lucky, so I at least know that much, but that’s all. If you speak Japanese, feel free to translate!
Keren’s fortune told her that she should give up on love and that she will meet two suitors. Sounds about right.
Comic #723 – “Inside the Shrine”
As people left the shrine, they were intently looking at a piece of paper. I wanted one of those pieces of paper. I didn’t know what it was, but since everyone was leaving with one, I figured we needed to get one too.
There were a number of things going on in the shrine, and it took us a bit to figure out which line to go into to get the piece of paper. We dutifully stood off to the side and watched how things were done. Once we figured out the pattern, we stepped into line but didn’t know how much to give. The little girl in front of us had the coin buried in her hand so it was difficult to tell. In the end, we settled on a 100 yen, and apparently, we guessed right!
Btw, today is the day we are returning back to Canada. I already miss the toilets.
Comic #722 – “New Year’s Traditions”
The thing to do in Japan during the New Year’s holiday is to visit a shrine. The first shrine we tried had an insane line up. We went for lunch and then went to a smaller shrine which didn’t have a long line up. I forgot the name of the shrine.
Actually, I never knew the name of the shrine to forget, so, not unlike any other day really. I just stumble around.
