Todai Temple

Nandaimon, the South Gate.


Buddha Hall (Daibutsuden)

I wanted to see statue of Buddha in Todai Temple, so I took a day trip to Nara with my friend. I went on the Shinkansen and local train from Tokyo to Nara in about 3 hours (It was far!) .


Statue of Buddha

Do you know the pillar with a hole behind statue of Budha?
The hole is the same size as Budha’s nostril. The hole is small but if you could go through the hole, you will get smarter.

Of course I challenged it. I was afraid of my body stuck in the hole, so I could only get my head at first. Then, I tried with courage and I could do it!!! I hope study English become easier than before :)

Hong Kong

Last month, I went to Hong Kong and China for a business trip.
Ever since I went to business trip, I was so tired that I couldn't write my blog about business trip. I had a hard-schedule. I went to business trips in Japan before the overseas business trip. You know, business trip is nothing but tiring. But that was a valuable experience for me.

I arrived in Hong Kong on the first day, after the meeting, I ate Peking duck. However unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. The waiters come to the my table with cut up the Peking duck, but I wanted to see whole Peking duck! It was really delicious.

There are a lot of sign around in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, any building's scaffold are bamboo scaffolding. This is an art!!!

I stayed at Kowloon's hotel. I had a few minutes in my busy schedule to walk around at night. I walked and looked at the night view.
