Daily Photo – Kobe, Japan

I’ll give you a hot tip when going to visit Kobe. Usually, before I hit a new place, I Google the name of the place. In this case, I Googled “Kobe,” who is apparently some kind of a basketball player or something? Well, after looking at about 1,000 photos of this so-called “Kobe,” I was thinking, man, this guy REALLY likes Japan. He also appears to play a lot of basketball there. So, you can imagine my surprise when I showed up, and Kobe was actually full of Japanese people, none of whom who I saw playing basketball.
