blog entry # 3.2

I would like to visit Tokyo in Japan. I have been a fan of Manga which is a illustrated story like a comic book. I have serveral Naruto books.  The Naruto series is a good example of Manga.  I would like to learn the culture especially the arts.  The language is very interesting too.  Tokyo seems to be very similar to New York. In fact is is " a sister city to New York".  I would visit all the sites especially the museums and local grafitti art works and the comic book scene.
