The Best Holiday Ever

This

holiday trip to Japan was the BEST because we went to many places like the ninja museum, the golden pavillion and the Shogun's castle. The Shogun's castle is really cool because the floor squeaks when you step on them. Thats why they call it the nightingale floor. This floor is built that way so that when an assasin came to assasinate th Shogun, they will be warned by the squeaking noises of the floor. The golden pavillion is like a golden villa. it is HUGE and it is all golden i thought it was only for reference but i was wrong. It was actually for the Shoguns to stay. Next is the ninja museum here are some real pictures.That is a picture of a shuriken(left) it is a throwing device for the ninja's to use. Next is the kunai ( right) this is also a throwing device but it also ca be used for close combat, digging holes and cutting ropes. The picture on the top right is the ninja sword.I bet all of you know what it is for so i wont explain. On the top is the senbon. It is like needles, it is sharp at both ends and are uasually dipped in poison or in sleeping powder. Next is the smoke grenade(Top Left) it is used for covering the ninja at desperate times like when he is surrounded, he will throw a few smoke bombs at the enemy or in front of him to hide them. Did you know that framented wolf dung is used to make smoke bombs? they only use framented wolf dung cause it will fly straight up into the sky instead of bending. That is where you can get the thick and foul smelling smoke around you.
