Dear Diary...
Japan Day 1
lundi 23 novembre 2009

First day in Japan! :D

Landed in Japan at 5.30 am, with a running tap. It was really cold here and Kansai. My first destination was the Nara deer park. Got to see some deer. :D Even saw a pirate deer (it had one blind eye ):)
Blind Deer





Behind the deer park was the Todaji Temple, it houses the largest bronze Buddha structure in Japan. Cool right. LOL. Even the main gate was super big. The compounds was burnt down a couple of times, including the Buddha statues, among the numerous other statues. The current Todaji temple (restored) is only 3/4s the size of the original temple. And still, it's really big. OMG.






Our next destination was the Osaka Castle! There was this deep moat. The water level had dropped from the original centuries ago because a bomb landed in the moat during the World War, causing the bottom of the moat to be deepened. There was even a dry moat! The castle walls were also once burnt down (some suicide thingy).





The time capsule will be opened in the year 6970





The castle itself, from the outside seems to be only 5 stories high, however there are actually 8 stories inside! (the additional hidden levels can be used to house the calvary and other soldiers). Sadly, we weren't able to enter the castle. [oops, for some reason, the photos refuse to be uploaded)

Lunch was served at a restaurant within the compounds. Cold bento and Udon noodles :D

After lunch, we went to Shinsaibashi :D Didn't do much there though, just walked up and down. wahahaha.

Next stop waas Kobe's Chinatown.:D quite interesting. Chinese food, yet advertised, promoted and sold in a very Japanese manner. (: Ate a stick of crispy cuttlefish balls. hahahaha. :D

ROOSTER :D




Our last destination was Kobe harbour. At the harbour, we could see a couple of ferries and the Kobe Tower in the background. (according to the tour guide, there is a tower in every region of Japan. e.g Kyoto Tower, Kobe Tower, Tokyo Tower) Dinner was served in a restaurant in the shopping centre at the harbour. Bought fruit and jelly beans after dinner from the super market :D

[photos refuse to be uploaded again. :/]

Tonight, I'm staying in Hotel Keihan, which is right next to the Universal Studios theme park. I would be visiting Universal Studios tomorrow :D That's all for today. Byeeee. :D

Au Revoir
