Hiya family, friends, and fans!
This past weekend I took a trip out of Tokyo to see some Japanese countryside. Really I was just hoping to get a view of something green and alive. Hostie came through for me and took me out near the base of Mt. Fuji where we saw beautiful green tea fields.
Take a look at this video to see someone else's visit to the tea fields:

See this video about abandoned tea fields do to the decline in population in Japan:

The fields are beautiful, and looked so delicious. However, when I went to snag myself a little nibble I was chased off. I wonder what the problem was?

P.S. Panda, I love anime too! Do you have any favorites?

I have a LOT of favorite animes, but I think my all time favorite would have to be Inuyasha. It was the first anime I ever watched when I was first introduced to it by one of my best friends in the 8th grade.
But otherwise, I'll watch Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho, Naruto, Trinity Blood, Ghost in the Shell, Blood+...(and the list can go on)!
You had to ask.
LOVE the tea fields video. So beautiful. Shaun, don't they understand that you could really help clean up some of those fields.
Glad you made it to Japan BEFORE the plane that blew up!
Interesting to know.
