Day 6 Japan. We stayed at "the joint"today. When we had breakfast I was not feeling good I think I got food poisoning from the Chinese restaurant. We went with Sue our tour guide and carried on. I sat out for the first place because I was sick. I took a nap in the car while my parents and Sue were gone. We went to Chionin gate where they filmed part of the Last Samurai. Then we went to a big wooden temple where there was a bridge that people jump off if they have a hard decision to make. Around the same place I finally threw up!!! At this temple they reveal a big buddha every 33 years. 33 is the infinity number.
After we went to the temple we went walking around the shopping street and I got good candy. The candy I liked the most looked like little stars that were blue, and purple. For lunch we went to a buffet where my mom and my sisters went years ago.
After lunch we had a drive to Sangensando Temple, longest wooden building in the world. Inside the monument there were 1002 wooden carved gold painted Buddhas: 500 Buddhas on one side, 500 Buddhas on the other side, one big one in the middle, and one in the back.
We took an hour long drive to Nara where we first went to the monument where deer were sacred there. And, we got to pet them and feed them by the park. It was amazing! At the temple Kodai-ji by the park there were 3 big buddhas. The biggest buddha was made all out of bronze and there was a life size nostril to the size of the big Buddha where people can crawl through the nostril...I made it! So I will be able to go to Paradise is what the Buddhist religion thinks. Me and my mom painted a tile which will be put on the temple this summer and will be there for the next 500 years. This is the largest wooden building in the world. And the largest bronze buddha in the world.
When we checked into our hotel and said bye to Sue and the driver, we thought it would be a dump but it was really a great hotel. We all wore our kimonos into dinner. I asked for some rice and miso soup. When they came out with it, the rice had fish heads on top of it, but the miso was perfectly normal, I think... After dinner we took a picture in the lobby. I was wearing a fish head and my mom was wearing Mt. Fuji. Hahaha.
