KANSAI

Chinzanso Gardens teahouse

I'm off again, this time with my good friend Alex for eight days in the Kansai region to tour Kyoto, Nara, Osaka and stay one night at a temple lodging on Koya mountain, one of the primary buddhist worship sites in Japan. Of course, we have the obligatory 7(ish) days in Tokyo together, too, before he returns to the states on the 22nd. Then it's back to the humdrum of real "vacation" with nothing to do for me before classes start on the 1st of April.

Ciao!
