Hikari



That's Hikari - the train that we rode to Kyoto and back. Too many places, so little time! I am doing this update back home. I didn't have time when we got back from Tokyo because I had to prepare for our flight the next day.

Walking in Kyoto is like running through history. In every block, there's a site, whether a temple or shrine that dates centuries ago. We saw the Sanjusangendo, Ryoanji, Kiyomizudera, Kinkakuji, Ginkakuji, Anrakuji, Honen-in, Kodaiji and lots more. We also watched a show at Gion which truly impressed me how much they've kept their tradition. Notice how I seem to be rushing through this. That's because I feel really sick right now... jet-lag, fatigue, I don't know.

But I'll let some of the pictures do the talking!








As my summer in Japan comes to an end, there is one last update that I will be doing next week. The pictures that I've shown you is just a fraction of the 9 gigabytes that I took while I was in Japan. There's so much memories in seeing the pictures, listening to the music and just recalling what I have experienced during this summer. Words can't really describe how I feel. But I'll try to - in the best way I know how.
