Kinjo Festival Week: Part 1, Fashion Show

Soooo much stuff! These next few posts are going to be broken up so that they aren't super ridiculously long. This week has been so much fun! I think yesterday was up there with my best days in Japan so far.

This first post is from the Kinjo fashion club's fairy tale fashion show that I modeled in! Most pictures taken by Emily, using my camera.






























Every time I uploaded this picture, it was automatically edited to take out red eye...so I had to fix that!







All of their designs and craftsmanship were amazing!! Some of the dresses' details were so amazing, I couldn't believe they were handmade! I wish I had been in Japan sooner so I could have made a dress for the show. <3

Aichi Industry Tour

On the 24th, we took a bus tour to the Shinano Ceramic Art Center, the Toyota factory, and the Kariya Highway Oasis. Unfortunately, I wasn't allowed to take pictures in the Toyota factory, but we went to the museum after!


I made this!! =D


And this! (With some help)

(Almost) Everyone!

Added some more lines...I wish I could paint it =[ We got to choose a color and they'll paint it for us

Singing, dancing, and instrument playing robot at the Toyota Museum!

This is what it would look like if I could drive....in a Japanese car on the opposite side of the road.

Used to be the uniforms for Toyota workers! So cute!

BEDAZZLED CAR, SO MUCH WANT



ME IN THE BEDAZZLED CAR


I'm just gonna drive this right out of the museum if that's ok....

Giant ferris wheel!! Too scared to ride it without my Jer though...next time!

I finally found pumpkin pie!! It was a bit expensive and far from where I live though =[ *UPDATE* I've found another one of this restaurant in Sakae! =D

The pumpkin pie suppliers!

400 yen for just a slice...

This water is pumped up from hot springs! Here you pay 100 yen to soak your feet in the hot water. It's quite relaxing, and your feet still feel tingly and warm for like an hour after =]

I GOT TO SOAK MY FEET IN HOT VOLCANIC WATER
