What goes down in that land far east?

The frequency of which I update this blog seems to become rather bad. However I will try my best to keep it alive.  It's now late november and the weather still feels like late autumn. Quite delightfull I'd say.   I've gotten the pleasure of witnessing the Japanese theatre form of Kabuki and the arts and crafts of the edo period. Also I have spent a day in Disneyland. Starting of with the disneyland trip.

It was quite the fine day, no blue sky but not the cloudy menace one could fear. We skipped the entrance line due to a friend with free entrance passes. This is not saying that we didn't stand in line. Every atraction had about an hour and a half of waiting time so we gt our share of waiting. But what to expect out of one of the worlds most visited amusement parks? Since we already foresaw the queues we had some fun rather than being bored; our 4 DS's being used rather often. After a magical evening in Disneyland (for as you all know, the fireworks and the light parade is magical), we went clubbing in Shibuya. Long and tedious story short: we didn't get back home untill midday the next day.

Then a few days passed by before it was time for the Kabuki. Our teachers from JiU took us to Tokyo to stay at on of the school's various campuses. Or rather in this case, a hotel. At mid evening we took the trip to Ginza to see the famous Kabuki. Now Kabuki is really interesting in the sense that it seems not to have changed a bit since eldern times and thus have a lot of interesting ways to act, talk, create effects and otherwise bring the different feelings and messages out to the audience. Like using wooden sticks, beaten together in a special rythm to symbolize night. The only annyoing thing with the Kabuki is that it tends to pull the story out far more than interesting is, thus creating endless scenes of dialogue that doesn't lead anywhere in particular. All in all it was a great experience if one looks aside a suicide-scene that killed the spark of the last play. "Kill each other allready will ya!"
