Back from a tiring but fulfilling day at a famous traditional temple and peaceful countryside out of the city. :)

I was expecting a quiet little temple but woah!

Omochi, or as we Singaporeans know it as muah-chee... Crispy crust with piping hot sweet azuki (red bean) in it!

The gateway to the magnificent temple

HAHA, I'm just not cut out for this kinda act cute pose. I wonder how Japanese, even guys, do it so naturally

I just made friends with a popular historical figure, Sakamoto Ryoma :)

More sakura... It's gonna get prettier by the day!

What I had for lunch... :D

I felt a little guilty when he taught me about the temple rituals and had me do it too but I told myself "Be a Daniel". As long as my conscience is clear. :) And I also bought the zodiac keychain (I'm a tiger rawrrr) and good blessings charm for ermmm love? :P

Next up, my friend brought me to a peaceful countryside called Yanagawa with a famous tourist attraction - an hour boat ride around the city

"Be a Daniel" Round 2... LOL! My friend was so enthusiastic about it, I just couldn't reject his suggestion... U guys know how important my hair is :P

With beautiful sakura all around the boat route, it was very refreshing :)

Just right above me :)

Okok, I swear this is the last pic for sakura :P

Besides sakura, there are other beautiful flowers too!

Quack quack! The boatman gave us some feed and the ducks were fighting for it lol!

The salespeople of these riverside stores were relentlessly persuading us to stop and buy their stuff (=.=)

Plenty of low bridges... I gradually felt gratitude to my friend who had me put on the funny hat lol!

Queuing outside a popular 'yatai' (makeshift food vendors) for dinner

Fried ramen for dinner! Amazingly delicious :P

What were you waiting for? My daily camwhore pic? HAHA! I wore about the same as 2 days ago so I didn't bother. :P Tomorrow, I'll be going to Fukuoka Harvest Church to attend their service for the first time ever!
Feeling a little nervous but at the same time, exciting as well! Just as how I gotten used to everything in Japan (the weather, the customs and habits, getting used to seeing more good-looking people (lol), speaking in Japanese) in 3 short days, I'll be ready for this as well!
Good night, folks! :)
