Trip to Kyoto with my roommate part2: MONKEY PARK

After walking around temples in kyoto I visited the monkey park in the mountains of arashiyama to see fat monkeys like this!

Crossed the river 

and found a sign that leads us to the monkey park!

Scary..

I don't get why we can't take pictures on the way.

We can't stare at the monkeys! Yikes!

Haha look at the angry monkey face.

It took around 20 minute to walk up the mountain to meet the monkeys.

It was pouring rain and it was frikin cold I thought of going back down at one point.

If you see a monkey on one of the paths ignore them and keep on walking!

And I finally got to the top! Look there are soo many monkeys!

We can look at the monkey from inside the shack and give them some food.

Trip to Kyoto with my Roommate

   

Using my long two month spring break I went to Kyoto again with my lovely roommate.

We arrived at Kyoto station at 6am and took a train to arashiyama. 

Unfortunately it was pouring rain but because of the weather and it was a morning of a weekday there was no one walking around. 

I enjoyed taking pictures in the rain as well.

We found a bamboo street.

It was really quiet and I loved the smell of the place.

Tripod Case and hanging around Hiyoshi.

I can sew!!

Well with a little help from my grandma and her sewing machine I made a tripod case.

Because my tripod becomes very cold and I hate holding it around with my bare hands.

Used my friend's corduroy jeans and a black strap from my grandma's old bag. 

Put a inner cushion inside the bag as well.

My friend also made one as well.

This guy sewed with a needle though. haha

My other friend watching us sew.

Old boys and Old girls visiting us.

There is a term called OB and OG which stands for Old Boy and Old Girl.

And what these OBs and OGs are graduates of a certain group/class/association/etc.

So we had a OB/OG party for my zemi where the past members of the zemi comes visit us.

The day started off with all the current zemi members running around the school to get ready for the night.

We need gifts and pamphlets and books to hand out to these OB/OGs and that took a long time.

On the morning of the OB/OG party.

We went to kinkos to print out all the handouts. 

(Didn't think I was going to visit Kinkos in japan..)

The place we booked was somewhere in Harajuku.

Before the party started.

Yoyogi and Shibuya Expedition

I met up with a friend from my res at Yoyogi Station one day to just walk around and take pictures.

This station is along the Yamanote line which is a train railway shaped in a loop located in the middle of tokyo.

When walking towards the yoyogi park we found this cool place.

This is my friend.

It was like a garden with cafes and stores.

Book store.

Plants from all over the world.

Car racing and Ninja Bar

I am back from Thai and Nagano!!

Long story short I got food poisoning in Thai and I've been lying around in my bed for the past few days.

Butt everything should be fine :)

So let's get back to what I did about a month ago!

-----

In Ginza there is a place called

Hakuhinkan Toy Park.

Which is like a Toys R Us but with more toys for all ages and it is filled with very Japanese things.

And on the top floor of this building is a 

racing track!

These race tracks have electricity running through it and 

you pick a car to race on top of these tracks.

I picked this blue car with some weird fish guy on it!

Going to Nagano Prefecture and Thai

Going to Nagano Prefecture (-10 degrees) and Thailand( +30 degrees) for a week and bit with my mom:D
Hope to update everyone during the trip with lots and lots of pictures!
