The plan for today was to visit the Nishi Honganji temple, and Nijo-jo Castle. My first stop was the travel information center, who pointed me in the direction of a PLUS-ATM from which I could grab some cash. It is said that you walk a little taller with money in your pocket, and I must agree. I visited both of the sights on my list, and they were both very nice. I especially enjoyed Nijojo Castle, as everyone was permitted to walk through the hallways of the palace, rather than having to stay outside. Headed back to Utano for dinner, where I met a nice, young English couple who were on vacation, and sat around and swapped stories for some time (chatted about various problems with the Royal Family in England, tabloid magazines, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After dinner, I hung around to watch TV. Enjoyed a really interesting program called &#8220;Narohodoo &#8211; The World&#8221; (translates to &#8220;Really &#8211; The World). The theme of the show is to send Japanese reporters (usually cute women) out to the far edges of the world (deep jungles, etc.), and have a camera-crew record their experiences. A good mix of humor, and touching people-stories. I would really like to see more of this program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time really seems to fly when you\u2019re having fun, and since time was just flying, I guess that meant I was having fun!
