    Right...no food photos here as I just don't swing that way.

    We arrived in Tokyo and got all the rail passes sorted...first stop NARA

    This bridge is a world heritage site.

    Next to Fujikawaguchiko...which is the lake near Mt. Fuji. We cycled around this, which was a total bastard as all the bicycles were way too small for me.

    Still, my wife had been talking about wanting to do this for months, so back ache to go with the inevitable shredded nutsack it was....

    Mt. Fuji isn't visible for about 60% of the year, so we were lucky to get some shots, even if the best view at the end was from the car park.

    We enjoyed it a lot hoggy, but were also glad to get home.

    Tokyo is an amazing place...but exhausting.

    Aye it's good scran mandy, no doubt about that, and after the ME and LOS the standards of service are off the charts, of course.

    Anyway...3 day 'Tokyo Wide Pass' exhausted, it was time to use the week-long Japan Rail pass and head off to Kyoto. This trip alone is 10,000 baht return on the Shinkansen, and the week-long pass is 10,000 baht.

    Kyoto is a literal and metaphorical breath of fresh air. Within an hour of walking along the river I was casting envious glances at roundeyes who seemed to be residents.

    Our place was equidistant between the river and the Imperial Palace...just a perfect situation.

    It also boasted bath towels larger than the waffle-sized efforts we'd been using in Tokyo.

    The fuck is that about?

    Anyway...Zen Buddhism is, crudely, Buddhism + Trees. These are my wife's passions, as for some reason she's gone off humans. I'm assured I'm not responsible in any way for this.

    She is just disillusioned with how Buddhism is represented in Thailand.

    This seems to mean that even in cities really large areas are set aside for greenery, which is pretty cool.
