So, on my whirlwind Asia trip following Chinorz & Manila, I swung by Japan to see college friends Kim (blog-less Hawaii Kim) and Wendy (English teacher in Japan Wendy). I only spent one real day with them--I took the bullet train down from Tokyo to Kyoto and stayed in a hostel with them. I forget what all the sites are called, maybe Wendy can comment in the, well, comments.
Umm, large temple complex...
The Golden Pavilion (that burned down a long time ago and was rebuilt, or something). We each gave our camera to a different person to take pictures at the same time, with predictable results.
Toji Castle, I think.
Umm, giant moat?
Sign says no smoking.
Perfunctory pear blossom.
Ambling along Kyoto's back streets at dusk.
Trying to get a group shot in some hall of Japanese sign-age things.
Large Japanese sign-age thing.
Perfunctory automatic bum washer at the airport. Love it.
Well, I guess that was pretty lame.
Not lame, but it could use more giant robots. Japan is on the top of my must-visit-but-only-when-I'm-truly-ready list, which I just made up. I also want to belatedly commend you for posting large, centered photos.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a fair comment. But Japan seems surprisingly normal, so none of that. Also, I have hacked my template to death. If you actually want to have something underlined, you have to use the u, /u tags.
ReplyDeleteyou told me once how to get my pics like that. But I can't fingure out where in the code to look/change. So for now I am just envious.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun in Japan. I think that it's cool that you have so many friends that live all over the world. Have you ever tried the bum dryer? What a weird idea.
Hm, the underline tag is not allowed, so I will try bold. Giant robots.
ReplyDeleteKarl are you Stalking Kim? You seem to find her in all the corners of the world.
