No matter how far, no matter how free, I'll be alone

Okay, folks. Here's is a deal. I have about a half million photos to upload from my Kamakura trip over the weekend. I also have about half an hour until the place I'm using internet at closes. Rather than do a rushed job, I think I'll be posting the photos next week. My apologies.

Anywho, here's what I've been up to. I went to Kamakura, where the history comes from. Essentially, its a place famous for its religious shrines and a bigass buddha. You'll get to see it soon enough.

We got to stay at a ryokan (japanese style inn). We were told we'd be having beef for supper, but when I got there, I saw nothing but fish. Luckily enough, the beef soon followed, but I was forced to survice on mostly fish due to portion size. You know how I love my seafood.

I do have one thing to share that requires photos. Here you go.

That's right. Here in Japan there are killer attack kites wielded by grade schoolers. You better pray there is no wind if you plan to go outside.

Okay, so it's a bird. Thing is, this sign should be heeded. My friend was enjoying a sandwich and look away for a second and it was gone. I'm not talking he had the sandwich in front of him on a table. He was holding it in his left hand and the kite took it. My friend didn't even see the bird, but my teacher did so he can testify to how awesome it was.

Time's closing in around now so you'll get the full story about Kamakura next week.

  1. Kites are a menace and should be stopped (what with their impressive wingspan and talon feet). By the way, Sam knows of your blog now.
