The Adventures of Samurai-San

[Jedd the Jedi]

Hello all, Konichi-wa from Tokyo, Japan! I'm now on a family vacation in the land of the Rising Sun, and I thought I would take a page from Athos' book and bring a minifig ambassador along for the ride - and who better than the collectable Samurai minifig? I was very intent on getting this figure before the trip, and the first few times I saw it sold loose (with the guessing game element removed) it was too expensive - but I finally got a hold of him.

I've named him Samurai-san (Mr Samurai), and by the power vested in him by the Emperor, he's off to explore the far-flung country of...his home country.

My trip lasts four days more - look forward to more from Samurai-san!

haha great to see him on his land. :laugh:

Keep them coming

Niku, thank you for your reply! It would be great if you took a minifig around your home country of Guatamela - I'd love to see pictures of that!

And, more from Samurai-san. I panicked when I forgot to bring him with me for dinner last night, and hopefully won't make that mistake again.

In that last one, it's snowing! In March! I mean, any time of the year I see snow, I get really excited - because Singapore, where I'm from, is right on the Equator (one degree north) - it's practically summer the whole year round. A humid, sticky summer. It's a little like going from Dagobah to Hoth, and it's a lot of fun even though it is very very cold.

Alright, I'm back from the trip - I had a great time, but I think, maybe, Samurai-san enjoyed himself even more than I did.

This topic could be much appropriate in the community forum.

Looks like a nice vacation with plentiful of nice photos.

WhiteFang, thanks for moving this to the right forum! I was not sure which one to put it in.

Sorry for not answering, somehow this post got lost.

I`ll try to take some photos of my country with a minifig whenever the chance presents.

And post it here later.

Greetings.

Thanks for sharing, I am planning on taking my surfers with me when I go off to cornwall with the camper van this summer!

I thought I'd mention that I arrived home from Japan two days before the earthquake and tsunami happened - it's really sobering and scary and I'm very fortunate to have made it back at just the right timing. Thoughts and prayers with the people of Japan.
