For my Birthday Yui and I went to a Ghilbli exhibition that showed some background drawings from the animations. Most where done with watercolor paints. So my cake followed a similar theme, thanks to the most talented Yui Takahashi! Look Totoro is sleeping in his hole in the tree
I went to Nara. I saw the worlds largest statue of Buddha in a huge temple. Super awesome. Then I saw some monks light a mountain on fire. Deers are everywhere; I love them, and they love to chase people with food.
I actually got back last sunday........ Yui, Yuki and I were walking around down town when this girl came up to me with a flyer, took us to an elevator, sent us up four stories to a beautiful Izakaya, and then put us in our own little room.
Yui, Atsuko, and I went hiking by Atsukos house. We went through these giant bamboo trees, and climbed up some monstrous cliffs! Then we decided to climb down the hill on the other side that didn't have a trail. We got lost and then eventually found ourselves again.
