The Big Japan Trip
Some of the staff took a trip to Japan at the end of October, and here are the pictures for you to gawk at. Ever wondered if you'll really see sailor-suited students running around in Japan? Wonder if little school kids really wear those bright yellow hats? Curious just what Japan looks like? You can find all that out here!

Oh no! More stairs!	But the view was worth the climb.	A confectionary shop near Kiyomizu Temple.	These ladies (trying out costumes) were nice enough to let us take a photo.
Shop-lined street leading to Kiyomizu Temple.	Famous pepper shop, supposedly with 7 different pepper flavors.	You can even buy Hello Kitty pepper from this shop.	Coming up on Kiyomizu Temple.
More of Kiyomizu Temple.	Another view of Kiyomizu Temple grounds.	Kiyomizu was the coolest looking temple.	Robert tries the purifying water.
Kiyomizu Temple again.	More purifying water, but this one's also for drinking.	En-musubi, the temple for improving relationships.	The temple is huge! And look at all the people packed on there!
Back to the Future and Jurassic Park cookies at Shin Osaka Station.	A specially decorated, festive train.	Den-Den Town, where you go for electronics shopping in Osaka.	Studio Ghibli contest sign, for winning a special Ghibli clock.
The shinkansen, or bullet train.	The bullet trains are quite luxurious inside.	More leg room than planes.	Zipping by Kyoto Station.
