Huey at Porcelain Monkey has visited Meiji-mura, "n open-air museum that contains over 60 buildings from the Meji Era 1868-1912" Totally inspired me to go. I was thinking of who I could invite to come with me but his pictures have made me want to go on my own so I can spend as much time as I want!

I appreciate that you have decided to jump on anyone doing the wrong thing but...Did you take all those photos? You said you only stumbled across them. So I...What a shame - I was looking forward to that tonight! Oh well - not meant to be....Nothing to do with me. That's all Google's work. I just typed in the name, chose a...Yeah, it's always empty. The "incredibly busy" thing was a joke.

That's where I proposed to my wife! There's an old bank with a tower. We went to the top and looked over Meiji-mura while it snowed. I got on one knee, took out the ring and proposed. Then, when she said yes, I unzipped my jacket to reveal a shirt that read "Majide?" (Seriously?)

This is also the first place I proposed to my wife! Seriously ... we were in the church, and there were lots of people looking at us because of the gaijin thing or something (perhaps it was because we were dressed pretty nice), and then I asked my Reiko to marry me for the first time
I didn't unzip a jacket or anything, because we had gone on May 6, 2006 (with a tentative wedding for 05.06.07 ... but that didn't work out).
It's scary just how small a world it is. That said, Meiji Mura is a great place to go see what Japan was like during the turn of the 20th century.
You are such a sweetie lol! Winter is the most romantic time, I secretly would like to renew our vows in the snow here so I can finally have the winter wedding I wanted lol!
You guys so true romantics in the traditional idea. The gal and I never did anything like that at all. We are more of a post-modern couple. Just agreed to get married and filed out the paperwork. I love her all the same.
