Nara

I have just arrived at my new accomodation in Kyoto after a 1 hour train journey (that only cost 3 pounds!) and have since proceeded to start spamming out these blogs so that I dont forget whats happend. The most important of these musings is this record of my time in Nara.

Firstly the accomodation was lovley, with friendly staff that humoured my Japanese, was clean and comfortable, and had a robot toilet (more on those soon). After visiting the temple from the previous post, I returned to the accomodation where I met a fellow lone traveller called Chris (from Bolton), a multi-lingual Bulgarian man whose name escapes me, and another guy called Darius whom was accompanied by 5 girls (jammy) who had all met on the plane for the first time in a government sponsered art thingybob. They were all really nice people and we spend the night drinking beru, eating Japanese food and discussing various topics, from Japanese comics to the concepts of bordem and the politics of immigration.

As for the next day, having said my goodbyes as everyone mentioned above checked out that morning, I headed to the Nara Koen area and took myself on a tour around the park, which was teaming with tame deer, to see all the stuff they had there, which included a good few UNESCO world heratige sites. Some of it was absolutley breath taking, as you can see for yourself below..
