Finally! I found my self !
after months of meditation in hidden temple in the mountain...
Just kidding...

I had a lot of lectures followed by loads of reports and also I had to be in the lab each day (T_T)
Anyhow I'm almost done with the lectures...SO I hope from now on, I can have more time to do some adventures...

The weather here sucks in summer...it's too hot and humid...and rain...a lot of it..
and a lot of (Mushi) insects (x_x') well that's the price of preserving the nature...

That's why it's almost impossible to do any outdoor activities...
So...shopping is the only way to have fun...
I explored a lot of new shopping malls and restaurants..
Ahh...here are some pics off some weird stuff that I saw..
I really can't believe that there are someone who'll buy it !?!

No.1: I dare you to wear it...



No.2: I hope it's real...


No.3: No way...



Well...That was a little bit of a surprise to me...
of course there were some other stuff but I can't post the pictures...u know why? hehehe...

Nara Experience

So beautiful...so quite...so natural
I've never imagined that I can see Deers (Real ones) walking among people in the city
until my last visit to Nara to the south of Kyoto...
I went with our tooter friend and My friends from Holland and Kenya...



We went to see the light up in the city...but we had the chance to visit some other places since we arrived early...
so took a walk to Tōdai-ji the temple which is the largest wooden building in the world.



and after that we clumped a mountain next to the temple to arrive there by the sunset time over Nara city.
I did the Asr and Maghreb prayers on the top of the mountain...new experience...
And OHHHH!!! it was awesome ^_^
then we headed back to see the light up...
so Romantic....

Wooooohooooooo

oooooooo .......
Last week I went with the lab members to Nagashima spa land in mie prefecture the second biggest amusement park in Japan...
A lot of great roller coasters with a beautiful view over the pacific ocean ^_^
Including the longest roller coaster in the world...and another one which is made from wood
and in the evneng we went to a Japanese style hotel and yeah! I entered the Onsen (Japanese public path) for the first time in my life...
OK I will not talk a lot here is the pics...



around 3 and half min. 97 m high and too fast



Yeah I know it's not here !?!
Of course there is no pics for the Onsen ;P
HEHEHE

Gion Matusri 祇園祭

Yeah!!!
It's the most famous festival in Japan...
from all around the world people came to watch it.
In 869 the people were suffering from plague so the emperor ordered the people to pray to the god. Sixty-six stylized and decorated halberds, one for each province in old Japan were prepared and erected at Shinsen-en, a garden, along with the portable shrines.
Any way...the gion matrsuri is held each year in Kyoto...
three days before the parade of the Floats, Kyoto's downtown area is reserved for pedestrian traffic
The streets are lined with night stalls selling Japanese food, Many girls dressed in Yukata (summer Kimono) walk around the area.People inside the floats playing music and others... Ok there are some pics...



On the 17th of Jul is the biggest event...
thousand of people line up in Kyoto streets to watch the great parade of Floats...
the floats are too heavy (Weight: about 12,000 kg) and high (about 25 m from ground to tip)
Wheel diameter about 1.9 m and about 30-40 man pulling during procession.
yeah they pull it around the city! Only by man power!!!




And of course thank god that I'm tall or else I would not be able to take this photos. hehehe

and in the evening on the way back to my home...the train was like this...
