Shines are very prevalent throughout all towns and cities of Japan. This is just one of them near Warren's dorm.

This is Warren's Dorm. His bed is on the left (not shown), he has 2 desks (one on the left and one on the right). I slept on the floor (you can see the sleeping bag I used). Warren is looking in the ridge here. On the far right is 2 burners (gas heated) and a sink. Oh yea, Warren hanges his clothes up because the dryers do not work well at all. I experienced this when I did my laundry there (I think it took 2 hours in the dryer to fully dry my clothes).

I think I was going from Nerita to Tokyo via the Nerita Express. On the train where two Japanese Girls - looked like they were good friends or sisters. Actually right after I took this picture, they took one too.

This was the first sign of land coming from San-Francisco to Japan. I was extremely tired but elated because I was now entering JAPAN.

I needed to use 1 more photo so I took a picture of my two good friends at home. Joseph is on the left and Armond is on the right. Both are Clemson Graduates. Joseph spent 2 months in Japan over the summer 2 summers ago. Both enjoy good whole-some anime too.

My last full day in Japan. I spent it in Kyoto. I was looking for the tower in Kyoto and ended up finding this park. As you can see, this stream is peaceful and inspired me to write a poem.

This is a temple in Kyoto. I read a sign that said this building is the largest wooden building in the world. Alot of Japanese pray in their because the atmosphere is so adapt to it. I spent quite some time in there praying as well.

This was the view from the bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto. I went on the early train leaving at 6:15am. I did not reserve a seat because I thought I could only reserve seats at the vju (travel service center). I found out as I was going back to Narita that I could reserve seats at any JR ticketing place. Anyways, since I didn't reserve a seat I had to fight the crowd and hopefully get one. Cars 1 through 5 were non-reserve. I sat down in own section which I found out was smoking. So I tried to find a seat in non-smoking and could not. So I sat down in the area in-between cars and waited almost 1 hour to find a seat in the non-smoking section. Luckily on the way back I had a reserved seat so all was fine.
