The structure is like a masterpiece indeed.
I went there three years ago and whenever I see pictures of it, I smile...but there are bitter-sweet memories: I'd just returned from a one-month long holiday in the UK and went to Osaka (long flight); My husband traveled directly from the Philippines to meet me in Osaka (short flight). I was exhausted, from long flights and all. There's so much to see in Japan, and you need full energy, which I did not have...
When I got to the temple and saw the huge crowd I pouted all day. When I'm exhausted I belong in a cave away from civilization...my husband was not happy with my "sour face" and said I was ruining his photos and experience...haha!
I guess I'd have enjoyed the visit under different circumstances... but despite me not being able to see beauty in anything when I'm exhausted (or hungry), I thought the structure was spectacular and got photos from all angles...just no picture of me at the location to show.Hello @nicholasrichards,
BTW, I saw this from one of your other posts
These days I am either following tennis, reminiscing about Jamaica, or convincing my girlfriend to whip me up some Taiwanese cuisine.
I have been reminiscing about Jamaica too, a lot lately! It's always nice to see another yardie on the blockchain. I saw that @dmilliz (hail up👋) introduced you...I met him here too:)))
#ILOVEJAPAN and Taiwanese cuisine is #DeliciousBeyondBelief and the country too:)))
Hey , interestingly Nick introduced me to steem in 2017 and then I reintroduced him to HIVE recently. Interesting cycle.
Hey, at least you got to see it in person. I still have not seen it. The only time I went to Kyoto was for a meeting and we only had one day, after the meeting we planned to go to see Kyoto but everything was closed so we did the next best thing…. Izakaya. And off on the bullet train we went the next day. Hmmmm it is time to gyalifest ( manifest ) Japan travels as it is cheaper than international travel ….. for once.
Hiya,
I need to go back to Osaka. We explored a lot because Cameron was eager to speak his Japanese, I spent the day with the deers in Nara. I learned that deers do hold grudges. There were two deers fighting in the street (I caught it on camera) and a crowd gathered...I don't know what happened if a man tried to part the fight, but at the end of the fight, one of the deers hunted down a man and would not stop bucking him up the backside 🤣... I've been skeptical about deers ever since.
Strange heh! That he started on steemit... his face looks so familiar.🤣
The bowing deers of Nara, haven’t seen those either, a trip around Japan is needed. I know I would not be the one parting that deer fight lol. Animal instincts, lol I’d love to see that video.
Yeah, trust me though, things have changed a lot since steemit days. I don’t blame anyone for leaving 2017-2018, it was really hard to earn unless you knew people or entered contest.now the thing really balanced and anyone can earn as long as heur making quality.
