It rained when I was in Nara the other day, and the space between the houses flooded. It looked kind of cool.

My aunt's house used to be a ryokan (inn). So there are men's and women's toilets, and signs on the doors. And a big communal sink that reminded me of school. This was my room. Compared to my capsule, it felt sooo big. The monks in the temple across the street started chanting at 3am, but I didn't even care.

of course I went to see the Big Buddha. Here he is.

Me exhausted in Nara. Travel makes me so tired. And puffy.

From my visit to San Francisco. My aunt setting up her stall at the Berkeley market. She made almost 3,000dollars over two days. Not bad for this economy. That's my uncle in there, looking confused. This was like 8am -- waaaay too early in the morning. No wonder I've been exhausted over the last few weeks.
