After lunch, we went to the second largest Ferris wheel in the world. Now, I can say I have been on the largest (the London Eye) and second largest in the world, which is in Fukuoka ... yeah! The next thing we did was go to a place with lots of cool things like a robotic dog, called IBO. Tyler and I really want one. The robot dogs even performed -- they danced to Michael Jackson's song, "Thriller." It was really funny (check out the video!).



That night, we went to a baseball game. When we got there, we saw all kinds of entertainment on the field -- cheerleaders and eight different mascots. Then, they started the game and the crowd cheered like crazy and everybody was banging their plastic bats. The best part was at the 7th inning stretch.  Everyone blew up balloons and let them go all at the same time, which looked really cool. The game was lots of fun even though the home team, the SoftBank Hawks, lost 9 to 0.

The next day, we went to a different island in Japan and met a really nice person named Satoshi. He showed us around some small islands. We had a great time with him! My favorite part of being with Satoshi was seeing lots of cool samurai warrior stuff (like this special armor and swords), getting to play on the beach, and doing lots of fishing. He even had one of his friends teach us how to make sushi. Watch the video.

Before we said goodbye to Satoshi, he took us to a place where the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb to end World War 2. It's called Nagasaki. We went to a museum there that was very sad, but we liked all of the colorful origami cranes that people left to remind people that this type of event should never happen again.    

Bye for now.
