Well yesterday we went to Nagoya again. We made it there pretty easily taking the train and subway system. We went to Nagoya Castle which is cool as hell!! The history behind it is amazing. The castle was not built in Nagoya originally, but around 1611 it was dismantled and moved to Nagoya. The reconstruction of the Nagoya Castle main donjon was completed in 1612. Then January of 1945 much of the castle was destroyed by air raids. Then from 1953 through 1960 many repairs were made to the castle, and some sections completely rebuilt!! There was so much more there than I could ever post on here, but I have to say WOW, I love that place!!!! The architecture and artwork alone was absolutely beautiful!!!
After the castle visit we went into downtown Nagoya, in the shopping district we found a bar that served Geniuss and pizza (of course they aren’t your usual toppings)! Then we did some more shopping (browsing really), and then saw some more of the city! After that we came back to the hotel, and pretty much went to the bar for dinner. I only had a beer with dinner, but Jim and Dave got fucking trashed again. I ended up leaving a little early, and from what Dave told me they had a good time.
One thing I noticed while we we’re at the market, is that the 80’s are really in here!!!! Man you would not believe the “punk” styles most people are wearing here, mullet haircuts and all! That and there are a lot of skateboarders here, which is pretty cool. But they mix a lot of their styles. Such as skateboard with hip-hop, punk with 70’s, etc. Don’t get me wrong, it may be funny, but it is cool as hell! Anyways we are getting ready to go out for today, so I’ll be doing another entry later!!!
Later Gators,
