                                 じゃまたね、 
                                 クリス

Good Evening,
Todya I went to Heian shrine, and two temples. I took lots of pictures. On foot it took 5 hours. I also practiced studied shakuhachi near the kamogawa.
Later,
Chris

That walk was very long. Probably 10-12 miles or more, I kept up a good pace the entire time. I got lost for alittle while when I was looking for those two temples I went to. I walked past them, then past Heian jingu. Found a sign pointing me in the right direction and found Heian jingu. Then the other temples were harder to find. I kinda stumbled upon them. I knew there general vacinity so that helped. I need to try and make some friends here. I only know my sensei and his wife and met one of the other people that live in my apartment complex. I think the language barrier prevents me from making friends as easy. My Japanese is not very complex, so I can only make very small talk. I learned about culture shock before I came here, not sure if it has affected me. I feel pretty much as home here. Still getting used to the city though. Never been a city fan, so I often leave to the outskirts of the city here. I'm currently looking around for a job on Shikoku, that sounds more to my population liking. Anyway, I'll stop blabbing. The end.
