Sanjusangen-do temple, Kyoto
This is the longest temple in Japan.
When you walk inside it, the floor boards squeak really loudly (and musically). It was specifically designed like that so they would hear intruders. Omoshiroi ne!!
Kyoto and Nara Trip
I just got home from an amazing 3 day university field trip to Kyoto, Nara and Osaka!
After getting absolutely NO sleep on Tuesday night, I had to be at the university at 7:30am on Wednesday to meet the group of about 60 international students.
I was crying uncontrollably as I'd just said goodbye to my Brazilian friend, Silas, who was flying home that day :(
We flew to Osaka where 2 buses were waiting for us to take us to Kyoto. Each bus had it's own annoying Japanese lady who talked non-stop for the entire 3 days, loudly over a microphone so we had no choice but to listen.
We saw 2 temples, and then checked into our hotel in Kyoto.
The 2nd day was free time, so 6 of my friends and I went to Universal Studios in Osaka.
The 3rd day we saw 2 temples in Nara, then back on the bus to Osaka airport with the Japanese lady. We had 2 hours free time in the airport, I really can't believe they did that! But amazingly all 60 of us were through the security zone and in the waiting area on time.
It was a really great trip, and the whole thing cost us 3000 yen! Airfares, hotels and food included! We're really lucky, I love Kagoshima University!! Do I have to go home....?
