Literally The Big Guy ;p

After a day off, we were back to see what’s out there. On our itinerary was Kamakura and Yokohama. It was a long trip from Chiba. We were on the train for over an hour I guess. Mega layo talaga. From the train station, we started our walkathon to the Great Buddha. We asked directions from a few people and it took us about 30 minutes by foot before we reached it. There were a lot of foreigners because it is a tourist spot.

I finally met the Big Guy. Mind you, He is indeed One Big Guy. I felt again the solemnity of the place. It wasn’t really quiet but you can feel a certain aura. We went inside the statue to see what’s inside, apparently nothing. hahaha!

I said a short prayer and just took pleasure of the surrounding. =) After an hour or two, we left and started to walk back to the station once again. It was much easier going back, maybe because we knew our way.

Off we went to Yokohama to see China Town, the largest in East Asia. We had some troubles looking for it. Medyo malabo kasi yung lugar mismo. We walked and walked before we finally saw it. It felt like just Binondo but times ten or more and definitely clean!

It was past four when we had our lunch at a yummy Chinese resto. Weeeeeee! Sabog talaga ang eating time pag nasa ibang bansa. You just want to maximize your time that sometimes you forget to eat on time or forget to eat at all. Besides, I enjoyed every single day that we were out. Sure it was tiring but I love to absorb everything about Japan, culture, art, beliefs, etc.

After being full to the brim, we had much more energy and went around to see what their China Town has to offer. Of course pap spotted the Chinese hat, which we bought. We used to have one a long time ago but it’s old and ugly already.

Finally we were good to go and another round of walkathon for us. My day was very exhausting and the warm sofa at home was very inviting. =) I learned a lot in one day and I never thought that learning could be soooooo entertaining. ‘til then…
