I love Fushi Inari shrine!!!
We actidentaly woke up at 7:45v because the room was so dark.
We left for Inari at about, 9. I love taking the trains. It is really weird. I have a panic attack, but if I can actually figure out how to get there I think it is really fun, and riding the train is fun too.
So We got to Inari and headed up the mountain. For those of you who are wondering why I love it so much, watch Memoirs of a Geisha and you`ll know. The girl runs thorough all the torii, and it is so beautiful!
So, I wanted to run through the torri, but my leg was killling me, and we kept running into poeple. It wasn`t crowded at all though. It was gorgeous. We strayed from the main patha nd got lost. Then we found it with the help of a Japanese Lady, who was old and in better shape then I am. I did run down the torii in another area. By then my leg was better, really weird, I think I just cramped a muscle, and it was downhill so running was much easier. There were TONS of Torii everywhere. It was great and very beautiful. Not exactly someting to write about though. Just wait until I get back and you can see pictures. I bought a small wooden torii and athe lady painted some things on it. My name, date, country and then whatever I wanted it to say. When she was all done she sparked flint over it using a rock to ward off evil spirits. That happens in Memoirs of a Geisha too.
We came back, went to the post office, dollar store, which is nothing like the ones here, incase your wondering, they are amazing!! and then came back here.
We are goign to go to the bookstore soon.
Also, if you are readin, fell free to post as much as you like. Dalrae and Marilynn your amazing!
Also, If you have any questions post them I would love to answer!!!
No, I`m not studying.
Yes, they really do have techno toilets, and no I haven`t used it, I`m too scared.
Yes, they also have traditional ones. We`ve used those about 10 times by now. They aren`t that bad either, You just squat. For those of you who hate having to sit on toilets because it is so unsanitary, these would be wonderful for you!! You don`t have to touch a thing!!!
That`s all for today!!

I LOVE Memoirs of a Geisha, I think its great you are doing this. I also think you SHOULD use the techno toilet (when are you going to get this chance again) common Haven you can so it.. <3 Cant wait to see the picts. Be safe Love and hugs
ReplyDeleteCheyanne: torii are the big red or orange, or stone arch ways that are before every shinto shrine.
ReplyDeleteSimeon: techno toilet is a toilet that you can do lots of different stuff with. The seat warms up, some make noises when you are on them, some spray water at you, and all sorts of other stuff.
Glory: its awesome!!! I love you too!!!
Blair: yep, we came across a couple little ones. I can`t remember if they were natural or not though.
We saw frogs at the zoo, and one crushed on the road.
Thatch: Thats great your having a good time! Dad and Serene are probably spoiling you rotten! How many movies have you watched, huh?
I`ll do it next time Dalrae!
Sorry Serne, I missed you* No DAD we sin`t go to church. We are going on this Sunday though, when we are in Kobe.
ReplyDeleteI`m a little nervous!!
