Asia » Japan » Kanagawa » Kamakura April 21st 2006

While all you aussies were enjoying your easter weekend, gorging on chocolate, not working on friday and monday, holidaying at the beach and being rained out at oakbank or the clare races Marissa and I caught the shinkansen to a touristy town called Kamakura a couple of hours away for a Saturday trip. The sun was shining, the birds were singing the octopus was hot and the beach was cold. All in all what a lovely (and long) day!! Also a few random photos from driving around on Sunday ... read more

'I've got your picture.. I've got your picture!' I really think so! This place really is awesome!!! We arrived here four days ago but I will write this blog to cover most of what we have done up until this point because we are falling behind and you need photos!! Well, for starters, we are at Meg and Cam's place. We began our holiday here by vegging out for a whole day (Which was soooo wonderful I can tell you - we needed to chill out!!) and visited the park and a few really funky shops around Fuchinobe, which is about a five minute walk and a few blocks away from Yabe, where Meg and Cameron live.. We started at the local park which is gorgeous.. There were ornamental trees all around the place and well-manicured ... read more

This is my first time writing a journal and do not know how it supposed to be but anyway i just want to write something about the places i've been (don't bother abt the grammar ya) and keep it as a memory. I'll learn coz i'm a fast learner. Well.. the more places i've been, the more things i find that is very interesting. Really an eye opener about people, culture and the environment. I am not a japanese but since i live in Japan now i started to appreaciate things around my surrounding like now is a cherry blossom season. Sakura... they are just beautiful especially when they are just infront of your street. Along my place is Honmoku Dori... full with sakura trees and along sakuramichi toward Sankien Garden which is a a very ... read more

So just incase anyone is still actually reading this blog after my long winter break hiatus and recent tendencies of writing a Japanese blog on a completely different site and even using Japanese on this site, I will bring forth a little bit of writing to those dedicated enough to possibly be still be hanging around. Oh let me quick start off by saying that recently my University back home in Pennsylvania has published my article I wrote back yonder about the Momiji in Kyoto, thus if you never have read that maybe you should! Alright let’s get this show started. This past weekend I took the Friday night bus with Levi from Umeda Osaka to arrive Saturday morning in Shinjuku Tokyo, where we would then ride the JR trains to the neighboring, but almost blended ... read more

Asia » Japan » Kanagawa » Kamakura January 17th 2006

Continuing my quest to see a little bit of Japan outside of Tokyo, I spent today in the oceanside town of Kamakura. Kamakura is home to dozens of shrines and temples and the Great Buddha: Before leaving for Kamakura, I met the guys for breakfast at the hotel buffet. Just before leaving dad's old friend Noburo showed up. I haven't seen Noburo since 1985. It was a little surreal. Per his recommendation, I caught the JR train at Shinjuku for Kita-kamakura - one stop before Kamakura itself. From the small train depot I started wandering, coming upon the Tokeiji Temple after a few minutes. This is the temple for divorced women - it eventually became a nunnery. I spent a lot of time exploring the temple's cemetery - very beautiful and interesting. I followed a pass ... read more

Impossible d'avoir le clavier francais, donc pas d'accents ni de cedilles... Nous avons habituellement des voyages sans incidents graves, mais celui-ci vient a peine de commencer qu'il depasse deja les bornes du quotidien. Non que ce soit desagreable, tout simplement inhabituel. J'ai laisse a Jim le soin d'organiser le voyage, car il est passe maitre dans cet art, du moins je le croyais... Par ailleurs, j'ai commence mes vacances le 22 decembre en soiree! Nous avons fete Noel, le Nouvel An, l'anniversaire de maman et celui de Joyce et d'Earl au Quebec, puis nous avons conduit Tuck chez Scott et Belinda a Shelburne. Jusque la, tout va bien, meme que nous avons deniche un terrain pres de Mansonville (Estrie) qui ferait notre affaire. Nous avons passe l'apres-midi et la nuit du 8 janvier avec Belinda et ... read more

Asia » Japan » Kanagawa » Hakone October 6th 2005

On the morning of the 24th we headed to Ueno for our daily breakfast of coffee and bakery food, I think we both got hooked on it actually, whenever we saw a bakery we would go in and get something, even if we had just eaten somewhere else! And after that we went in search of the subway but got a little side tracked, we found ourselves in these small little alleys that were full of tiny little shops stocked to the brim with all sorts of things. One of the most interesting ones was a weapons shop. It was a tiny shop but sold all sorts. For example, all sorts of guns, shot guns, hand guns to machine guns and even bullets too; they sold all the different types of knives you could imagine, big ... read more
