Doing the Tourist thing

Hiya all, and thanks for all the comments and well wishes :)

Just as a quick note we did not feel anything during the earthquake on thursday night. None of the other AET's here did either. From what we have heard there has been minimal damage and as far as we are concerned it is business as usual.

We all did the tourist thing today, going up to Kyoto and looking around some shrines. One was built without any nails or other fasteners, and the other was plated with gold leaf inside and out. Shiny! Lucy should have some pictures up shortly, and look out for the ninja dog :)

Tomorrows plan is to head down to Osaka, another 20min train ride away and look at an old castle. So we should have some interesting stuff to write home about so stay tuned.
