Chua Jéyrius: #22 - Things Getting Colder

I'm Back! (Continued)(Edited)

Day 02. ( 24th October 2010 )

Breakfast! There's rice, sausage, egg, breaded fillet, fish, wedges, salad with ham, Kimchi (Y), broccoli, corn, lettuce, corn soup & iced grapefruit juice!

The hotel that I'm staying for day 1 & 2.

Nara Park. This park is filled with deers, around 1,200 of them. They are said to be the messengers of God and they would actually bow for food if you ask them to do so.

This poor doe had a blind left eye. That's why it is white.

Deers can sometimes get naughty and cheeky too!

One of them even bit off I think Andrew's bag's transinex tag and swallowed it. (Photo taken by Mr Jeremy Yong)

A baby deer that was hiding behind a gate. It was so scared of the tourists that it was crying very softly.

Another baby deer, feasting with its family. The doe is not in the picture.

The male deer. They kind of stink more than the doe(s).

Its poopy! ):

Jasmine with a doe.

A stone with words outside the To-daiji temple.


A path which leads to some where . . . .. .

The outside of the path to the To-daiji temple.

Guardians of the Temple. The first one has an opened mouth, which symbolizes life. The second one has a close mouth, which symbolizes death. Both look scary & are said to have these expressions on their face to scare away people or spirits that try to harm the temple.

It is mainly made up of wood.

The little lake outside the temple.

To-daiji Temple!

The freshwater for washing & drinking.

Cameras & phototaking are allowed but not tripods. o-o

The Buddha Statue. It's standing at 15m, with a palm size of 1.8m! This temple is around 2 times smaller than original size because it was once burnt down. The Japanese then rebuilt it with the limited resources and upplies of wood. However, it still look super gigantic to me! More photos can be found on facebook. (Mr Jeremy Yong / Kc / Jasmine) :D

Next, we headed to the Horyuji Temple.

Yay! It's lunchtime, but there's no free flow of rice ):

Asuka National Park. Inside the Ishibutai. So chio and cool.

The wonderful teachers shooting with the flowers!

The outside views of the ishibutai! Ishibutai actually refers to stone stage.

Next, the Akame Falls! Damn chio cannnnnn, I know it looks fake, yet real. I simply love the fresh air at the mountain top, along with to chilling breeze. On the way, I also got a Japanese name from Naomi. It is Go, which means strong (: There were also many sexy meanders on the way ( Not referring to Mrs Ram :P)!
