## What Jamie wrote

Tyler has been thinking that he would like his graduation trip destination to be Tokyo. Tammy had listened to this article [on the Sunday Read](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/19/podcasts/the-daily/spirited-away-miyazaki-land-studio-ghibli.html) and she played it for us while driving back from Big Cedar Lodge. However, I promptly fell asleep and missed parts of it so I found the article. As a bonus, the article has some photos and a ton of images from different Studio Ghibli movies.

> My first impression was not awe or majesty or surrender or consumerist bliss. It was confusion. For a surprisingly long time after I arrived, I could not tell whether or not I had arrived. There was no security checkpoint, no ticket booths, no ambient Ghibli soundtrack, no mountainous Cat Bus statue. Instead, I found myself stepping out of a very ordinary train station into what seemed to be a large municipal park. A sea of pavement. Sports fields. Vending machines. It looked like the kind of place you might go on a lazy weekend to see a pretty good softball tournament.

Ghibli Park sounds pretty incredible. It all made me think that we should see _Spirited Away_ again and to my delight I found it was playing at a local theater as part of Ghibli Festival. We are going on Sunday afternoon to experience it in the theater for the first time.
