Sendai & The Zuihoden Mausoleum

First thing we came across when we got out of our hotel was a Small quad bike parked where people park all their bikes. It was registered for road use and had all the indicators and lights on it. That would be crazy to drive around in a city, unless he/she drives it around on the path. Crazy.

More shopping, all the cities have all the BIG NAME brands everywhere like Louis Vitton, Coach, Bvlgaria, Gucci blah blah and in some places you see the same shop across the mall or road. We managed to see two HUGE Louis Vitton shops across from one another, they were friggin massive. They manage to stay alive because all people do here are go out so they need all the latest crap to be seen with, even the guys (young and old) have matching Louis Vitton handbags and manbags. they also need these brand name products for their pets too which is a whole another story. Ohh its soooo funny :)

We then headed onto a tourist bus and went to the Zuihoden Mausoleum which holds the body of the first fuedal lord of the region and some other members of the Date family. Some of the temples had some amazing woodwork in them which would have taken god knows how many man hours to create but it looked awesome.

We also got to see some Samurai outfits in the museum, these guys were a hell of a lot shorter centuries ago.
