Getting to visit Nara Dreamland, an abandoned theme park in Japan are what (my!) dreams are made of :)
A blog I read, Sho and Tell, run by Shoko (super awesome blog btw!) recently posted a link to an article about people's love of spending time in temporarily deserted places. Although Nara Dreamland isn't technically on the temporarily side, it stills shares this quality of being in a state that it shouldn't be. I was amazed to find fairly low levels of vandalism and little details, like a box of stale ice cream cones (abandoned since 2006) which made my day :)
The whole time we explored the grounds, my heart was going a million miles a second - the experience being overwhelming, adrenalin filled, amazing and at its very core a wonderland for a pastel kawaii lover, such as myself :)
