We are in Japan! For 2 days already. We were sad to part with Korea – felt like 10 days wasn’t really enough for the beautiful country. But! Japan is awesome. We finalized our 2 week travel plans for the country last night, which are as always subject to change if we feel like it….
Grocery shopping in Hiroshima, Japan. As always, featuring coverage of a meat section — didn’t realize I was such a carnivore!
After getting off the ferry from Busan, South Korea, we are boarding our first Japanese high-speed en route to Hiroshima.
Exploring Yongdusan Park in Busan, South Korea. We stumbled upon the local performance and had some marvelous weather and views.

Going for a bike ride in Gyeongju, South Korea. Jenia is skeptical of filming and biking.
Last day in Seoul, also happens to be 65th anniversary of South Korea’s armed forces. A military parade – how cool is that?!
