So I havent written anything in a Very long time- pretty poor effort on my part I think. Its nearing the end of the year and naturally I am looking back on what it has held for me- Ive had a pretty productive few months. The main highlight being:
My visit to the wierd and wonderful Japan...
Kinkaka-Ji / The Golden Temple in Kyoto
Bento style lunch complete with tuna sashimi, seaweed, sweet omlette and fried chicken
Hot springs / 'The Hells' in Beppu, Kyushu
Two lovely ladies out shopping in traditional dress
My trip mainly included eating lots of interesting food- a tremendous amount of Sushi and Sashimi as well as Tempura, copious bowls of noodles and Japanese curry and such delicacies as pigs heart. I vowed to try everything once so ended up eating both tongue and sea urchin. I recommend neither!
I managed to see one (and a half!) Geishas in the Gion district, visited the Manga and Studio Ghibli museum - home of these little guys-which made me very happy!
I also bathed in the Onsen / Hot Springs. A lovely yet unnerving experience as you have to get fully naked and being the only white girl makes you stand out and feel even more self concious. Still- it was an amazing experience and id love to go and do it all again!
