Me and my Japanese friend visited Nara prefecture to see TÅdai-ji "Eastern Great Temple". A truly awesome and memorable day. These apparently starving deers were all so anxious to wrap their lips round those delicious deer-biscuits. One even followed me up to some step where it attempted to even climb those precariously looking stone steps. Observe... I was trying to give that poor little deer some grub. ããã¸ãã§ãã­ã ãããããã­ãç§éã¯å¤ãã®æ¥½ããæãéããã

We headed out to Nanzen-ji, an enormous collection of Buddhist temples and gardens not far from the hotel. This compound was staggering with its size and beauty. I couldn't help but wonder what this place would have been like in its heyday, with monks scampering about, droning sutras, gardening, doing whatever monks do... it took us much longer than expected to see most of the buildings, so we decided to skip the Kyoto museum and go directly to the Heian Temple. The main buildings were all painted the screaming orange only the Japanese understand. It was a bit gaudy, but still beautiful for its architecture. Kaoru wrote out a wish for the wishing tree (a side note here, most temples have many ways you can send your wishes to the heavens and/or read your fortune. The fortunes are usually told by choosing a stick that correlates to a pre-printed fortune or some variation on the theme. Kaoru is a fortune and wishing junkie, hemming and hawing over every one, trying to fit them into her life.)
