NARAAAA!!!!!

HELLO!!!
My name is Toyomi. Today is currently the 8th day of our Japan trip! its been sooo hot and humid, but I still CANNOT get used to it..

Today we first went to Nara, and visited the Todaiji temple. on the way from the station to the temple, we saw SOOO MANY deers, walking around in the park. Liz and I bought some of the deer crackers, and right when she got it, the deers attacked Liz! and one of the deers bit my shirt.. Liz said that she got bitten twice on her stomach area. hahah! Some deers were really aggressive, but some were sooo polite and cute! they bow to you if they want some crackers. haha

The temple was REALLY big! there were three HUGE buddha statues and they were really old. there was a block of wood with a hole in the middle! its told that, if you can go through the hole, you'll have good luck, so cherry tried it, and when she was coming out, sensei said that she looked like sadako, that scary lady from the ring. ahahahaha!


after we went through the temple, Jennifer T, Jennifer L, Yuki, and i ate some SUSHI!! this is the first time we ate sushi in japan during this trip! i think the four of us were eating soba or udon noodles for the most of the time before since jen LOVES soba!!! haha! right after lunch, yuki san and i ate some soft cream!! it was soooooo good. the hot weather makes me crave for some cold ice cream :P

We met up after lunch again, and went to a little buddist museum? called Kohfukuji. It had many sculptures and statues of buddha. some of the statues were freaky looking. there was one with a body of a human, but with a bird face. there was another one with LOTS of arms and faces. they reminded me of spiders.

After we got out of the museum, we went back to our hotel. We had free time since then, and we went to don ki ho-te to go shopping! the hotel is really close to namba. so it was really easy to get there. we stayed in the store for like an hour, and went to a ramen restaurant right next to the store. that place was SUPER good!! even thought that place looked creepy with dragons everywhere ahahah!

tomorrow we are going to KOBE!!!!
hope i get to eat some yummy beef.
we're going to the cup noodle museum! i would like to make my own special cup of noodles for my goooooood friend! yayayay
i hope tomorrow will be another fun day :)
