Kyoto, Japan [Part 5]

Here's part 5. This will most likely be the last update in regards to my Japan trip.

Ginkaku-ji - temple of the silver pavilion.

This is what happens when you don't bother taking notes during the trip - you forget wherever 'here' is when you go back to view your own pictures. Needless to say, this is another one of Japan's many temples.

I may not remember where 'here' is, but at least I recall that you'd use the water here to cleanse yourself spiritually, at least that's what the people here believed.

Blog Post Format

I've recently received some complaints regarding slow download speeds when attempting to view my blog. After realizing that there are still many readers out there with slow internet speeds, I've decided to limit the number of posts shown at any one time to two. That means only the newest two posts will be shown, while the older posts will only be accessible through the "Blog Archives" section to the left. Hopefully all readers will be able to obtain tolerable download speeds after this change. Leave comments and let me know!

Cheers,
