I think my most favorite thing to do in the world (not an exaggeration) is feed the koi fish in the pond at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Phoenix. Matt suspects it's a power thing. I mean, I have the fish food (which are actually Cheerios), and the fish just gather at my feet. I just want to be loved, okay?
Anyway, to me, it's like Disneyland, but better, because there's no walking and getting tired and waiting in lines. And feeding the fish is just SO FUN. So, if you live in Phoenix, you should go (and soon, because it closes in the summer)!
PS We also got a Jiro Dreams of Sushi poster for free! Matt and I have been dying to see that film, but it's not playing anywhere in Arizona. Has anyone seen it out there?
It's playing at the Camelview theater in Scottsdale.

Kristine, you are soooo adorable! hehe i loved the "I just want to be loved" part.
ReplyDeleteThose koi fish are HUGE! Is there a list of things you can/can't feed the fish? I had no idea they would enjoy cherrios.
Thanks Tiana! I've actually been thinking of writing a post on being married young... I've had a few people request something along those lines! I better get on it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it feel like you are back to Japan? Phoenix is such city of diversity, and you guys have IKEA!!
ReplyDeleteoh sad, why does it close over the summer?! this place definitely seems magical! and seriously, what girl doesn't love being loved, fish or otherwise ;)

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is totally amazing. My husband and I are vegetarian- but let me tell you if we could ever eat Jiro's sushi- we would just have to cheat : ) Get it on netflix once it comes out!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is super cute! I love it! I have got to take my little boys there. They would love it. It was fun meeting you on Saturday
ReplyDeleteThat place looks amazing! I moved to AZ fairly recently and have been looking of great places to visit... I will have to check this place out. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to AZ! Haha. There are lots of great little places to visit in AZ - if you want, e-mail me and I can send you some suggestions! kristineorpolly@gmail.com :) Also, Chelsea of the blog Tea Talk (chelsea-bird.com) always talks about cute restaurants and places to visit in Phoenix!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! We went yesterday for a Mother's Day stroll and to feed the fish. Loved it!
