Yes, let's.Today I went to Nara. There are many more temples, shrines, towers and woods here. All of them are of course magnificent, but I thought I'd take a break from showing all of those and focus on the smaller, more amusing things this time. Also, deer seem to rule this city... they were everywhere.
... and they take nonsense from noone.
The one concession I'll make to temples is this one.
It is the biggest wooden structure in Japan, and houses an even bigger Buddha than at Kamakura.
While in Japan I've seen a lot of amusing signs (intentionally or otherwise) but have chosen not to show them because enormous temples are more interesting. Here is another example.
I had yet another odd flavour of ice cream today. Sesame seed. I decided a picture of this was in order as I have never seen grey and black ice cream before. This was by far the oddest flavour I've ever tried, but was still tasty.
Upon my return to Kyoto I taught yet another hostel staff member to play go. This is getting ridiculous. I'm going to have to find a go salon somewhere but I prefer to use my time seeing sights...
