Ghibli Museum!

I've been sooooo behind in updating my BLOG! There's just so much to do and no time to sit and  blog...what can I say. Well really quick, I got the opportunity to go and visit the Ghibli Museum! AWESOMENESS!!!! I got to touch Hayao Miyazaki's work! And see a model of his work station and such. If you don't know about Miyazaki, he is the creator of Spirited Away, (Google it). You should watch some of his animations. I recommend Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, & Castle in the Sky. There's so much more, but give those a try if you don't know about Miyazaki.
For those who do know about Ghibli, did you guys know, Studio Ghibli was very close to perishing in the past because many people were not drawn into Miyazaki's earlier work? Not until Princess Mononoke came out, which was like, suppose to be his last creation, did it actually received a lot of sales in order for Studio Ghibli to sustain. And then Spirited Away made the big shot and Studio Ghibli survived! Thank goodness because Miyazaki is so creative and unique!
I went to the Ghibli Museum on Monday the 22nd and boy, there were so many people there! (Although my Cool Japan class professor did say there shouldn't be a lot of people because it's a weekday. Imagine if it was a weekend. Whew!) Sadly they don't allow people to take pictures in the Museum so I can't share the wonderful experience I had through photos. Only some :(
 Overall, it was fun. I bought some souvenirs for my sister and nieces and I just know my sister will like it, hopefully. It's the thought that counts! But do check out some photos I was able to capture below!
