I'm impressed!

TPR managing two huge trips within a week or two? There's no way I could do that without getting burned out, especially with a full time job and a family to take care of.

The photos and prizes are just the icing on the cake!

Kudos to Robb and Elissa for giving us an awesome TR! Hope you guys have a great time on the NE trip!

I think it is awesome how detailed your coverage is of your trip here! I had been looking for a good Splash Mountain POV and was very happy to see you got one! I really enjoyed the update!

Apparently flushing toilet paper after use isn't that common in some cultures. I once had a room mate in college ask me whether we should do that or not in our apartment. Standing on the seat seems strange though.

The best thing about TPR is the donkeys.

This update makes me miss Tokyo Disney so much. I was planning a trip to Osaka next year (if the US dollar does not completely collapse that is) and I might have to jump over to TDR for a few days. Its so true about the Japanese people taking their parades seriously, I saw people starting to line up an hour before the electrical parade and decided to grab my spot and pass up on going on a couple of rides. Again thanx for bringing back so many memories.

Love, love, love these updates, I am sorry to see this one end! Is it possible to find out where Renee bought her Figment shirt that says, "What a spark" on it? I would love to own one, thanks to anyone who might know :)

I'd assume that that's because of the prevalence of squat toilets in Japan and the fact that it is possible to retrofit a Western toilet to allow the user to squat on it. Even knowing that, I still laughed at that picture! That's what's so awesome about different cultures-even something as universal as going to the bathroom can seem strange and hilarious to someone not accustomed to it.

I love everything about Japan. The only thing is the squat toilets, good thing I never had to use one when I was there. I really miss Disney Sea, hopefully I will go with TPR next time!
