Me and my brother (Fox/Urist Mcwhatever dwarf, btw), looking ready to kick some ass.
Rather than post the usual barage of pictures from previous trips and seasons, I figured I'll post some of the photos I've taken so far in Japan. I've been here for about 5 weeks, and won't be going back to the states for another month.
Kanazawa, the city I'm currently living in.
3/5 of my host family, and me, at the Hyakumanroku matsuri (festival) in Kanazawa.
Family shrines near Myojoji temple, Ishikawa prefecture.
The bar at Kagaya Ryokan, for nearly 30 years rated the top hotel in Japan. And we got to stay there. It was so cash.
Terraced paddys
Cool-ass leaf fountain thing at a temple in Kyoto
Zen Garden in Kyoto
Kyoto, and me.
Honestly, I haven't taken any spectacular pictures yet. It's been quite rainy, and I've mostly been leaving the camera at home. I intend to do some serious hiking soon though, and after my language program is over I have a week and a half to explore Japan by rail, which is when I anticipate taking the greatest amount of pictures. But these will do for now, I think.
