Nara and Kyoto
Mar. 18th, 2008 10:18 pmAt a temple in Nara. The expressions and details on the bronze demons guarding the gate are absolutely amazing.
Mmm, temple springs. Cold and sweet.
Hm. Stayed in deer park a while (though I can't quite call it deer park in my mind. Already means something else)
,
There is too much time while sitting on a bus to think.
Ahahaha I just bought the slamdunk boxset. I actually just meant to buy a couple of the volumes at the end to fill out my deluxe version collection, but then I unwittingly stumbled upon the boxset corner, saw a plastic-wrapped collection of all 31 regular volumes, and my control deserted me. SD is my One True Manga. There has never been one like that for me before, and there may never yet again, but see that is perfectly all right.
THE BOXSET REACHES MY KNEE.
Need to convert money the next time we have the chance, though, and need to stop buying things for myself.
I honestly had no intention to buy any manga before we left the Philippines. And now I have, ummm, 37 (i was filling out holes in my eyeshield collection as well; I think that I have conpleted that up to the latest, unless 28 is not the latest tankoubon).
Hm. Gold-plated temples are not my thing, but the garden is really pretty.
There are many places where you can make wishes. I am not entirely certain what I want to wish for.
Wow, the bullet train is pretty amazing. We were still walking down the length of the train when it started moving, and it was smooth. Not one jostle or bump; did not feel myself lose balance at all. It's like a roomier, slightly noisier, version of an airplane. It is going to take us less than half the time to from kyoto to nagoya than it would have taken us if we'd gone on the luggage-laden bus.
The problem with 100 yen is that it is a coin, so it does not seem worth much. Even 500 yen feels disposable, and it really is not ahaha.
