Leaving Today

Today, I'm leaving for America!

Just yesterday, I went to a temple with a thousand Buddhas.  It was quite interesting; each Buddha had one thousand arms--forty-two, really, but they said each arm represented 25 worlds saved (or something).  Right now, it's around half an hour before I leave for the airplane station.

Here's me near the temple.  Hope to see everyone soon!













TTFN!

It is I, yes I, that really cool guy (pulls bow tie stylishly)!  Just yesterday, then I, yes I, that Really Cool Guy (lowers sunglasses coolly), went to the Nijo Castle in Kyoto!  Unfortunately, then in the castle they didn't allow my (yes my, that Really Cool Guy's) super-stylish shoes, but that's all okay, since... I got to show off my ultra-stylish socks!




Then, I, yes I, that Really Cool Guy (tips hat with flair of style) got to go to a music concert--retro-style!

The Stairs of Kyoto!

This post's random personality: umm... getting kinda low on ideas... let's try the Doctor, David Tennant.

Ah, Kyoto; the thing everyone's been talking about; a land of discovery.  Everyone who's even been to the place says it's beautiful, so I've been looking forward to it for a long time.  So far, my favorite place in the station is the stairs.  Y'know, that's rather interesting; no one would even mention how good the stairs would be, but here they are, my favorite place in Kyoto station, so.  What's with the stairs, anyway?  Well, the answer would lie in the lights:
