More updates in Kansai

I went to Mt. Koya on Thur. It was so cold and the whole small town is full of temples which remind me of Da Chang Jin cos their temples look like the palace in Da Changjin. Here is one of the most famous temples, Kondo Daito.

Yesterday I went to Himeji Castle and Kobe with Alicia. It is quite far and the train ticket is also expensive. But it really worths paying it, at least to get this nice photos haha... I was telling Alicia if I was a Samurai or the lord of that castle in my previous life haha...

We went to Nankin machi in Kobe (machi means town and Nankin is Nanjing). It's Chinatown which is one of the tourist attractions in Kobe. The pics below are taken in chinatown with 12 zodaic animals.

Me in front of Himeji Castle


Me teaching the naughty monkey to be guai!!! :p


Me on a cute dog haha... Dogs are always cute :D

Today I went to Shitennoji, Osaka Aquarium & Santa Maria Ship. Shitennoji is one of the oldest temples in Japan. The Aquarium is amazing with different types of fishes. My favorite one is the Whale Shark which is 12 m long (if I'm not wrong). I went to Ocean World in Bangkok but Osaka one is the best (compared to BKK and SG underwater world - which is the worst I think haha). Santa Maria is the ship used by Columbus when he found the new world or America. This ship is the exact replica of Columbus's but a little bit bigger. I took one picture on the ship. The background is the ferris wheel near the Aquarium. The wheel is also one of the biggest in the world. It was very windy on the ship and I think I'm sick now cos my whole body is aching. Just took a medicine :( Hopefully I'm fine tmr when I reach Kyoto.

My 1 GB memory card was full today. So Stupid... I didn't have a chance to take pic in Aquarium. Some more the battery also died. I'll post other pics later.
