San Francisco in Japan?

I said a post or two back that I got to go to Universal Studios Japan, right? Interesting thing: inexplicably, there was a part that was made to look just like San Francisco. I saw Fisherman's Wharf, the Ghirhadelli (sp.?) factory, Pier 41. It was all quite disorientating!

Also, earlier today, we visited Mama-san's father, who travelled quite a lot when he was younger. Apparently he had been to San Francisco, Monterey and Los Angeles. From what I could understand, he thought San Francisco was a very wonderful place indeed!

    If you went to a Ghiradelli Square replica, does that mean Ghiradelli chocolate bars were a good gift or something easily found in Japan?
    Wouldn't it have been really wild if they had a replica of the Scandrette's home, the Caltrain station, or Buffalo Exchange?!
    Love,

    There was just a sign that said "Ghiradelli" on one of the building fronts. I don't think it actually sold chocolate. That would be pretty wild!

    Did it make you feel like you were back home when you saw these Ca. places? By the way "Hi Eva" I'm at your house with your mother reading your wonderful adventures and setting up an account. I will enjoy reading your blogs and commenting back. Love, Auntie Sonja
