Louis' latest lavish life-event

That's the best title I could come up with right now.

Anyhow, I went to Nara on a solo trip for the day before meeting with one Miss Rebecca Midori Kent in Kyoto, and hanging out with her and her family. The trip to Nara was really neat. It was raining for most of the morning, which was both good and bad. It was bad because it was raining, but it was good because no one else was around (as opposed to being the usual jam-packed Japanese tourist attraction). Not really much to say about that that's not in the pictures (except that my batteries ran out at one point, and I missed taking a picture of one really cool-looking temple that had a great view of Nara).

My time in Kyoto was quite fun. It's been a while since I've seen any friends from back home. Basically we went on a little walking-tour of Gion district, and then went to a show that was kind of like a "sampler". They played some musical instruments (some of which sounded absoluetly terrible, others which sounded delightful), and put on a few plays. The highlight was probably watching the Japanese equivalent of slapstick comedy.

After the show and more walking, we got booze and went back to Rebecca's hotel room. Then we got drunk and watched South Park episodes. Was good times. Enjoy the pictures.
