Cooling up

Just when i was complaining that it was getting warm, the weather took an erratic turn for the better. Cloudy the entire day, with forecast expecting a comfortable temperature range of sub 20 degrees, no wonder I'm smiling on my way to work today. Tomorrow's gonna be typhoon day, but luckily it's not gonna hit Tokyo.

Kamakura

Been a long time since i added anything noteworthy here, so i thought i might just put in some pictures from my latest trip to the land of Zen - Kamakura. Many zen and buddhist temples galore here, so for anyone looking for a break from the city life, this sleepy town which attracts many tourists offers just that. Company for the day - Olga the Ukrainian chick again.

Not gonna comment too much here, except that it's getting bloody hot in Japan, with the 8am morning sun giving the same blistering radiation as the 11am sun in Singapore. Sweats whenever I walk to the office in the morning.













The most famous attraction at Kamakura is obviously this- The big buddha statue with its construction dating back to the 1200's. Anything THIS big will definitely be a tourist attraction.
