Kyoto Trip

There was a school organized trip to Kyoto yesterday. We went to a temple built in the 1300s. It was pretty amazing, but I think my pictures failed to capture the size of it. Just imagine it being very large. Later we went to an extremely expensive buffet and a giant ass mall. Pictures mixed in with the arrival shots.

Also: Japanese fortunes are never good.

And: Old people seem to greatly dislike foreigners.

Some Pictures and Some Bad News.

I've got some pictures here that were taken over the past few days. Some were taken during the trip to Japan, others on the way to Hirakata city. However, it seems that elderly Japanese people don't want to be in pictures with gangly, large-eared Americans and politely decline when asked. I had a feeling some might decline, but not every single one. So, it looks like this whole concept is bung. However, I did get some pictures.
