The Weekend!!

It is the first weekend after campus days.....a much needed rest!

Saturday May 30, 2009


Today we all slept in and then went to the imperial gardens around the Imperial Palace. The imperial palace offered sculpted, rolling greenery, stone walls, moats, and guardhouses. It was really neat and we were able to take a bunch of fun pictures.

There was a neat water area where a lot of photos were taken.

We all stood on posts and did fun poses. The guards at the gardens were giving us funny looks.....i don't think they liked it.

Here was a bridge with two swans below at the imperial gardens.

After the gardens, we went to Asakusa. Asakusa contains a buddist temple and several shinto shrines. It was sad to see all the people coming and praying to gods that don't exist. Here is a picture of the gate at the entrence of the shrine.
