Libraries in Japan

Finally got away from
the park these past few days. I've been to the
botanic gardens and Sekino Falls in Miyakonojo,
Japan. Today I returned books at the library
(toshokan) When I first came to this city, my
translator kept saying they had no english books at
the library. Yeah right. I stopped by last week and
found at least 100 english books at their local
branch. A feast for my eyes. I absolutely love
libraries. I love reading. I love the library book
smell. Yahoo! Once I checked out my 7 books I was in
7th heaven!
Since I'm leaving Japan in a few days I didn't get any books, but I couldn't resist sitting and reading one. At the other table next to me a man sat chilling. He chilled so hard he slumped over and started snoring. Hilarious. Lucky person who can sleep anywhere and I guess the library is a good place. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter and oh so quiet.
My next post I'll discuss the shenanigans that go on at weddings here. I've been to a lot of weddings and seen a lot. Or maybe I'm just lucky!
