lost... sort of?
from my notebook:
Eventually the rain died down and it was safe to take the camera out again. I wanted to take a picture of the bridge, so Daniel stayed with me as everyone went on ahead. Wait, don't go that far ahead! They left without us? And where was Silvia? When I took this picture I didn't even see that they were in the background (oops ;p), so I had no idea where they went. They were GONE!
From then on I was as slow as possible since there was nothing to catch up to ;p I bought more deeeeeelicious odango, mmm... Then Silvia came walking up to us from the great beyond. So it was just the three of us, with an hour left to wander the place. I took more pictures, ate more odango, and Silvia teased the koi (if you put your finger 1 foot above the water, they totally reach half of their bodies out of the water and snap with their menacing toothless mouths).
And then... I really realized... NO ONE was outside. Not even in the gift shops. It was a total ghost town aside from the shopkeepers and us three. So... we thought maybe everyone was waiting for us by the entrance so we could leave early (even though we arrived in a bus... which has a schedule). Soon I became a little worried and thought maybe everyone had left us, since they were nowhere from the end of the park to the parking lot. Oh no! We waited around in the little, uh... outdoor lobby thing, sitting on stumps and watching the Edo Wonderland promotional video over and over... "Samurai is a rock star legend of all time"?? I didn't see any samurais in there, yo! There was a ninja, though. That was fun.ny. Anyway, to ease my worrying I concluded that everyone was inside the theaters watching ninja plays... and it was true! After half an hour or so of waiting by the parking lot, the girls showed up and all the kittens in the world were saved. The end!
