Weekend in Kyoto and Nara!

After this crazy last weekend in Los Angeles I decided to go have some fun in Kyoto and Nara with some friends.

This month is the Gion Matsuri event in Kyoto which is one of the biggest traditionnal event in Japan so this means its one of the most crowded one too! Anyway i could see a small parade and at least enjoy some Kobe BBQ meat and HiroshimaYaki which is soooooo goood! I loved it! Oishiiii!

Nara on sunday was also cool but HOT! At least 35 degrees and sunny. We went to Todaiji where the largest bronze statue of Bouddha is held and it is enormous! OMG! How did the built that! (Actually rebuilt because it has been destroyed and burnt man times before like all japanese places...) it is also the largest wooden building in the world!

Then we went to Heijo-kyo which was the ancient capital of Japan, 1300 years ago. They rebuilt the former Imperial Audience Hall the way they thought it was before. And it is also huge!

I hope I can get my pictures on Flickr tonight! Enjoy!
