Last time I told you mostly about the 30th of March, but now I'll tell you something about the 31th of March when we went to Kamakura with my host-mum. It takes about 1h 20min from here to Kamakura by a train, and as I didn't get to sleep late I slept in the train. As you might know, it's really common over here to sleep in a train. Honestly, everyone does it. But it's a good way to spend the time in the train and you don't really have to be afraid of any thieves as Japanese people are really kind and helpful (at least most of them). But yeah, we arrived to Kamakura. The weather wasn't too warm and sadly the sun wasn't shining. 8( Anyways, we went from a temple to another one. It was really nice and feet-hurting but what the hell, I got to see lots of Japanese temples! Well as I like the temples, there are two downsides to them. 1. They are most oftenly (is that even a word? ::D) reconstructed and have some concrete around them. And the ground can be made of asphalt, which kinda takes the joy away... 2. WHY IN THE HELL DO THE TEMPLES HAVE A LITTLE SOUVENIR SHOP IN THEM!! I mean in the bigger temples, there's no way they wouldn't have a souvenir shop in them... Really, I thought the temples were important religious pieces... + The worst thing is that the shopkeepers are monks themselves... I mean really, COME ON!! Is that really necessary? And yeah, it usually does cost to get in to a temple. Now before I'm gonna put a lot of pictures instead of writing, I want to say that I ate a violet coloured sweet potato コロッケ (korokke = croquette) AND edamame ice cream, which was actually quite good. However, edamames are usually eaten in a bar when drinking alcohol. ::D But they are really good and worth tasting. But now, pictures.
And that's it for the pictures. I'm gonna make a bigger update (hopefully during this week) about the trip to Nikkō, about school starting, trip to Yokohama etc. But now, byeeeee!!
