[JP18] A Day in Nara: A Wrap Up, and One of my Regrets While Travelling

A day is certainly not enough to soak in all of Nara. I am guessing, not even a couple of days. But you know what? That’s OK. Of course, if it were a younger me, I wouldn’t think that. My young self would be full of regrets that I did not spend more days here, not even when faced with the reality that I do not have the luxury of time.

[JP18] Nara, Japan: Wakakusayama Hill, Kasuga Taisa, Kofukuji

One more post before October ends.

In my mind, it’s practically a small town. In reality, it’s just a park.

[JP18] Nara, Japan: Playing with Deer at the Nara Park

Except for visits to a couple of zoos and menageries, my only “close encounter” with a deer was when I went to the Calauit Safari Park in Coron, Palawan some years back. And they were quite the elusive kind, too, because they were never within an arm’s reach, steering clear away from us. During my trip to Japan, we made it a point to spend a day in Nara, famous for its deer encounters. And I was NOT disappointed.
