Volcanos

DisneySea has its own man made volcano the erupts quite often during the day as it is part of Journey to the Centre of the Earth ride.
However there is another active volcano visible from a certain part of the part. This one last erupted a bit over 300 years ago

Ducks

Something about ducks at Disney. Lots of ducks on the water.
Small amount of duck on my plate.

Tokyo DisneySea

Spent a good part of Monday at Tokyo DisneySea. Anyone planning on visiting the new Fantasy Springs there, got to the park as early as possible. It was booked out by the time I got there.

First time bargaining with a Japanese taxi driver

Used a taxi to get from Tokyo to my next hotel. Unfortunately my driver to the wrong route and was very apologetic and didn't want to charge me a fare. Though free was a bit unfair to him and bargianed to pay at least something.
