The area we were in, Minami-senju was near Asakusa, which is famous for its temples. It was a 20 minute walk from our hotel, but because of the heat we took longer. At the temples, we got our future predicted. They have a special system for that, you insert 100 yen into a box, then take a… can with lots of small, numbered sticks, shake the can until one stick falls out, look at the number and open the drawer with the same number to get a note with your future prediction.
My note said several things, such as “the sick person won’t get better soon,” but also “travelling will be worrisome” so I was about to pee my pants because we would be flying soon… It also said that my “target deer was running very far away, no one knew it could run that far”, but in the end I would get it :D
The following day was our very last one… We weren’t sure about what to do, so we decided to go to Yokohama. In a CD store there, I purchased a very rare demo tape of Jinkaku Radio, which was super-expensive but completed my collection :D
So, the next day we flied home. First back to Russia where the people were very rude and everything was rather confusing, then back to Paris, and the day after, back to the Netherlands.
In the end, I had a great holiday. I definitely want to go back to Japan again, to see some more of the North, but also of Kyoto because I quite liked that town and there’s so much to see. I definitely do not regret spending so much money on this trip and I can’t wait until the next time…
