We're in Qatar now!

I know, I know… I am horrible about updating this blog. As many of you know I spent my spring break in Japan (a few days in Kyoto, and a few days in Toyoko). And trust me, it was amazing. I cannot wait to go back. When I returned to Doha, I hit ground running (with school and what-not).

This is the first chance I have really had to catch up on the blog. For now, I am going to just post pictures from my trip, with a few captions. It will be brief, but if  you have a question, please comment; I will do my best to elaborate.

I bring you, Japan… (beware, this may take a while to load, I did try and cram a week into 50 pictures…)

Well when we got there it was raining. Everyone was pretty bummed about it, partly because we just got off a 9 hour plane ride (but also due to the fact that no one in Doha really has too much experience with rain)  We were just stoked to be in Japan.

Believe it or not, but those crazy chair things ended up being out beds as well. Best sleep I got all trip…

Roar!

She made a crepe in about 15 seconds, then put banana and ice cream and chocolate in it, …cone style.

If you think this guy is creepy, you should have seen the one next to him!

This was a singing group we met on our way to the subway. They called themselves “Soundwich”. A merger of “sound” and “sandwiches”, GET IT!? They were pretty good tho, I think they even played some English songs, but it was hard to tell…

Smooches!

I know, I know… but it TASTED great

It was chilly out, so Brent got Green Tea Ice Cream….

I got Hot Chocolate, in a can!… From a vending machine!

Although we intended to explore (aka, get lost) in Kyoto we were helped by Mr Miyagi. You can’t tell from this angle but I mean, he looked exactly like him.
