Parcly Taxel: This is what my previous image >>1305172 was referring to - we’re going to Japan!
Spindle: Well getting there is rather easy, right? I can keep you warm in the stratosphere…
Parcly: Transportation aside, we’ll be visiting wooden castles and steel skyscrapers alike. Not merely admiring what other ponies call “natural beauty”, but partaking in it: the cuisine, the fashion and the interactions with outside lands.
Spindle: As listed in the picture, we’ll be going to Hokkaido first - lots of snow there, which is my dream environment. Then we’ll head down to Takayama, whose main draw is… wait, what was that?
Parcly: Shirakawa. Lots of old houses there reminiscent of what you see in Ponyville, minus the overhanging balconies.
Spindle: Ah, yes. At the end of the Takayama leg we’ll be day-tripping to Nagoya en route to Tokyo, where you already know what to expect.
Parcly: That is oversimplifying things, but in the end it doesn’t matter! I’ll be drawing and posting here one picture for every day I’m in Japan.
Spindle: I wish you a wonderful holiday - and birthday, too, since yours is 4 December. Any of you readers want to give birthday presents (drawings, etc.) to her?
