Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: Our First (drip) Sunday at Agape (drip) International Chapel (drip...drip)
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2010/10/our-first-drip-sunday-at-agape-drip.html
Sunday at Agape (drip). International Chapel (drip.drip). Thursday, October 14, 2010. Less than 1% of Japan's population adheres to the Christian worldview. Of those estimated 2 million Christians, the majority live on the west coast of the main island, Honshu. This is credited to the 16th century European missionaries from Portugal. However, before it could really gain a foothold in the area, Christians started being persecuted in the late 16th century. Monument to the 26 Martyrs in Nagasaki. I said to ...

Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: "Holy huge hanabi, Batman!" - The Tsuchiura Fireworks Competition
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2010/10/holy-huge-hanabi-batman-tsuchiura.html
Holy huge hanabi,. The Tsuchiura Fireworks Competition. Monday, October 18, 2010. Lets be honest with ourselves, fireworks are awesome. I, personally, have never heard anybody speak to the contrary. Try to imagine this conversation:. Hey dude, wanna hang out with friends, eat some food, and watch massive, colorful explosions hundreds of feet in the air? Nah, man. I'd rather stay at home and watch re-runs of Jersey Shore.". It's hard to wrap your head around what is going on here isn't it! No thanks. ...

Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: Sunday: That's our fun day!
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2011/05/sunday-thats-our-fun-day.html
Sunday: That's our fun day! Friday, May 6, 2011. Waking up was hard to do after our insanely busy Saturday, but everyone was in high spirits for our 10:30 church service at Agape International Chapel. Our close, intimate church family was one of the best things about Tsukuba, and we LOVED showing the church off to all of our guests. The people there are especially warm and inviting. You feel at home right away. This particular Sunday was special for two reasons:. He food was AMAZING! After church we we w...

Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: Watashitachi wa Fukuroda no taki to onsen ni itte kimashita
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2010/10/watashitachi-wa-fukuroda-no-taki-to.html
Watashitachi wa Fukuroda no taki to onsen ni itte kimashita. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Well that is my real basic Japanese which means “we went to Fukuroda Waterfalls and an onsen (the nude bath houses)”. The Japanese are very hard workers. It seems that many of them put in at least 11 hour days and work 6 days a week (luckily Seth does not work these hours), but still gets the holidays off. There are many trails in this area that we would have loved to explore more, but do to the rain we called it off e...

Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: Fleeing Japan!
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2011/03/fleeing-japan.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. On Wednesday morning,. Was being a real silly girl. Seth captured one of her poses of cuteness. We woke up Wednesday morning and started getting the Haines’s ready for the airport. We said our tearful goodbyes, then Seth and I relaxed for a few hours before we headed to the airport as well. Our bus. 8221; “The 16. 8221; “…it’s for the 23. 8221; “NO! Instantly we started freaking out, every fear is now coming out in my mind. After a 20 seconds of panic we put on our survival c...

Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: Final Day in Tokyo (EVER)
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2011/05/final-day-in-tokyo-ever.html
Final Day in Tokyo ( EVER. Saturday, May 21, 2011. It was our final day in Tokyo ( EVER! And we still had some unfinished business. Everyone woke up late because we were still recovering from our long night before. We were even late on our check out from the hotel, but Seth worked his magic so we didn't have to pay a late fee! We used Chisun hotels. Because they are a cheap "Western-Style" Japanese hotel chain that are all over the country. But we decided a day trip was in order. 1) priority was to check...

http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2011/02/christmas-with-yanks-waterworld.html
Christmas with the Yanks: Waterworld. Saturday, February 5, 2011. Day 4: " Swiper no swiping! That bike. That stupid bike! I woke up this morning thinking only of the bike I couldn't lock because the key bounced out of the basket as I bobbed and weaved back to the train station at a speed approaching sound. The bike. That went missing. Matt and Chelsae's bike. For a second. But we are in Japan, people don't steal stuff here.right? At our favorite restaurant in Tsukuba. Usually when we go to Tokyo for sig...

Tsukuba-Dooba-Doo: New Years Day: Shameless --> Sleepless --> Beardless
http://sethandkate.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-years-day-shameless-sleepless.html
New Years Day: Shameless - Sleepless - Beardless. Tuesday, January 25, 2011. New Years Early Morning. Following the Tokyo Tower debacle, we followed the big blob of a crowd back to Roppongi for some serious clubbing. Since the last train to Tsukuba left at 11:30pm, we were dedicated to playing in Tokyo at least until the first morning train at 5:30am. It was going to be a long night. The club: Feria. The rub: 4 stories of dancing mayhem. Party animals ( I may have exaggerated a little bit. Anymore. W...
