A walk on the green side
Yesterday me and Patricio went to a bamboo forest! I am so happy that we went because it was one of those things that I really wanted to see here in Japan. First we arrived in a small village, kind of. The view here was beautiful. We could see the lush forest (not only bamboo), all the sakura trees and there was also a river where a lot of small boats were floating around.I really needed to use the bathroom so I went to a public bathroom, but it was literally just a hole in the ground..So, we had a coffee at a restaurant and I used the bathroom there. However, the bathroom had one of those panels with a lot of buttons in japanese. Fortunately I pressed the flush botton right away! At this café, Patricio tried a coffee called "Red bean coffee". We thought it might be some kind of coffee made out of red beans, but he literally got normal coffee but with actual red beans inside. Omg, it is so typical for Japan! Anyway, he liked it.(more text below pictures) So, after a visit to the bathroom and after a coffee with a view, we walked to the forest. It was so beautiful! If you have seen the movie "Croching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", you'll know what I mean.Bamboo trees are so cool, they're like smooth, tall and have a nice crown. The only bad thing was all the people. I think it's season for tourism in Japan now (because of the cherry blossoms), and thereforethere were people everywhere. But, we manage to take some pretty cool pictures regardless.(more text below pictures) The beautiful view! Lush, green bamboo.. So as you can see, there was a lot of people in the forest Bamboo is so cool because it's like so perfect.. From under Beautiful women, they really fit into the surroundings Good light for a portrait :) After he forest we took the train back to Kyoto Station, we had to buy tickets for shinkansen (the world's fastest train). We're taking the shinkansen from Kyoto to Fukuoka (which is where we'll go to Seoulfrom). The trip by bus would take us around 11 hours but with the shinkansen it will just take us about three hours! Yesterday we recieved more work (YAY!), so today we're just going to work. Tomorrow we might go to a place called Nara, which is a place with a park filled with dears. Take care and have a lovely day!
