Went for a good old holiday------Japan-----part 1

Hieeeee guys!I must say sorry for not updating this for like a gazillion years.I needed a break and needed to refresh myself as i was getting tired of the same old surroundings everyday,every minute,everytime.
So,I started to do lots and lots of planning.I wanted to take a looonnnngggg break.
I went to lots of countries and now here i am,back at home,using the computer and feeling muchh better.
The first country i went to was Japan.Stayed there for about a week.the country was lovely!I was just in time for their "sakura season"and the flowers dropping from the tress were simply lovely.
I had my brochures with me and have done lots of researching so it did not take me long to find a hotel.
After checking in and taking a little rest from my jet lag,i took my purse and took a little stroll.i felt really relaxed looking at the flowers dropping onto the ground.then i noticed that i still had my coat on and had not changed out of my clothing.I thought,since the festival is approaching,(banners were everywhere) there are lots of people wearing hakamas and other traditional clothing,i decided to be in fashion and went to buy a pretty red hakama.I went back to the hotel to change into it and gave my hair a good brush as it had gone annoying messy after the long flight.

In the hotel room,i took a good look around.It had a pretty view of a nearby valley and it was furnished in a rathered traditional Japanese style.It was rather simple and spartan compared to other hotel rooms but it gave me a homely view.After that,i toonk a good rest to prepare myself for the night market later on.But more of it in the next post!
