About Bowing In Japan
Here’s some great advice about bowing in Japan! Traditional, apology, greeting and so on. Take a look!
It’s very important to know how to bow there. It’s considered polite and they will appreciate you more there if you know some local manners. Bowing is (in my opinion) one of the most important things you can possibly know when traveling in Japan.

I am not trying to be rude, but since...

Saturday: Imperial Palace's East Garden
12.5.12 『すごい！』(=Cool!)
Hey :)
Today I wanted to go to the Imperial Palace and it’s East Garden. I read that the palace itself is open only 2 days a year so didn’t go there :D Garden was free to visit, though.
The East Garden was huge and there are quite a lot of photos this time so I’ll just type some explanations every once in a while! Let the pics speak for themselves.
