Time flies!

I try to write more often but for some reason I always forget to do it. I was looking at what I wrote last time and realized that was ages ago! So what have i been upto since then? Well I have been to Kyoto. I went to the classic Fushimi Inari-taisha which is an old gigantic shinto religious place. With over 10.000 red gates standing togheter on a big mountain. Very cool! From there i continued my religious trip in Kyoto to the Buddhist golden pavilion. Another very cool place. But much more tranquil. It's intresting to see so many places in the world having many dual religions in their history. It feels like almost all of Europe has been some sort of Christian all the time and many other religions has been minoritys. But in places like japan, vietnam, cambodia etc there has been more shifts in religions in the country and more dual major religions at the same time. Just a reflection. Other then a day trip to Osaka I also took a day trip to Kobe, yes the Kobe beef Kobe. I tried some famous Kobe beef while their and to be fair it was insanely good. Not worth the cost if you are living in Sweden and importing it, but defently worth trying when in Kobe and it's not that expensive. I also took a little walk in the European part of the city, the place where the old European traders used to live during the late 1800s. Which was intresting but mostly feelt like being in an old European city, so wasn't that fun for me. But i think the other tourists i encountered enjoyed it, since all of them appeared to be Japanese, so probably more exotic to them.

Anyway that's my latest adventures summed up. I should try to write more often from now on so I don't have to write 55 pages everytime just to catch up with everything that has been happening. I was also at a fotball game, but i will leave that as a cliffhanger. Oh yeah I'm also gonna continue my travels soon so stay tuned.
