On Saturday, May 12th, we headed east to Tokyo Disneyland. It was totally spur of the moment and after a few wrong turns we finally made it!!!It was Colby's first time at Disney, so I dragged him on all the classics: Small World, Jungle Tour (in Japanese), Big Thunder, and Space Mountain. It is just like any other Disneyland, except, we were the only non-Japanese people around. We do understand the curiosity the Japanese people have about westerners and by now we are getting used to the stares. However, nothing had really prepared for 
Disneyland. By the end of the day, we were actually starting to feeling like part of the show. At the beginning of the day we were easily laughing it off, but after 6-7 hours, it gets a little tiring. The worst, but also the best, were the little kids. The adults would causally look away as you caught them, but the kids would just stare away. I even had a couple incidents when they would touch me when I wasn't looking. My favorite was a little girl in line at the Jungle Ride. We were in those wooden dividers, waiting in line for the ride. I was looking at Colby, who was on my 
left. Suddenly, someone pinches my right wrist. I immediately think somehow it's Colby, so while I am asking him why he pinched me, it happened again. Colby then informs me that a little girl is the culprit. The little girl immediately hides behind her mom. At this time, the lines starts moving, so we head in opposite directions. But, because we are still in the windy line we eventually meet up with her again. She is still hiding behind her mom and I still don't see her. The line quickly moves again and as we were walking away I catch her peeking out, I smile and wave and so does she. The next time (and last) we walk by them in line, she is all smiles. We really had a good time and can't wait to go back!
