If you take a close look at it, you will find that square gold leaf is pasted very timidly side by side.
It is the beauty of Japan. You must see.

I found a lot of chinese tourist, and one of them was very pretty like a moddle.

Have you felt Zen at the rock garden? Map of Japan-Kyoto

Have you felt Zen at the rock garden?

Ryoanji is famos for its rock garden.

Ryoanji is now under construction. It will be completed Feb.2010.
I when to Ryoanji during the construction, without knowing.
Rock garden was still nice but not as it should be.
We were only alowed to see the garden from the stage besides the garden.
Dusy carpet was spread over the stage and it was filled with tourist like us.
peep, peep, peep, a shutter noise from thr digital camera every where.

No mood for silent meditation.

Silece and the zen atmosphere was captured in the pichture I took with my digital camera.
Picture avobe.

I assume that the dusty carpet will be removed after reconstruction and wooden stage will be back.
Not only the stage but other parts of the temple was on construction so is was kind of messy.
But, it is probably hard to experience Zen atmosphere anyway, because of noised made by visitors.

Other parts of the temple gaden was pretty. Greenery is relaxing.
Turetle was on the rock and another was on its back.

Have you seen Electric Kitty-chan yet? Map of Japan - Osaka

Have you seen Electric Kitty-chan yet?

There is Universal Studio theame park in Osaka,Japan.
We call it USJ for Universal Studio Japan.

I bough the annual pass for JPY12,500 (USD125.75) where it usually costs JPY22,000 (USD221.33).
I though it is cheap because I can get it almos JPY10,000 (USD100.00) cheaper.
But 12 Month No Black Out Annual Pass at Universal Studio Hollywood costs USD84.00 and mine DOES have black out days and costs more!

Why is things so expensive in Japan? or is is reasonable?

By the way,
12 Month Premiun Annual Pass costs JPY28,000 (USD282.00) in Universal Studio Hollywood, USD119.00
Day ticket costs JPY5,800 (USD58.40) in Universal Studio Hollywood,USD 77.00

BUT ANYWAY! I'm having great fun at USJ so thats all right ;)

Many character good and they are very KAWAI!
In USJ there are Shop filled with Kitty-chan.
Kitty-chan is not the character of universal studio so we feel it bit unconfortable to see her in USJ.

USJ is now helding Magic Night Parade. It is beautiful.

This soooo cute!
