More school! This whole school bit is cutting into my exploring Japan time. However, I still manage to get out and about a bit. Or at least I did on Wednesday. After class, another girl and I walked over to the Imperial Palace. If you recall (depending on if I wrote it) I visited the Imperial Palace on the day I met my host family. We wandered around the grounds outside.
The falling petals were prettier in person.
As it turns out, the inner courts of the Imperial Palace is usually closed and opens for about 5 days a year. A year! Crazy, huh? Anyway, by some happy chance, the Imperial palace opened on the 5th, so Prae and I wandered over after lunch. It was pretty cool. Large spacious buildings gorgeous gardens. Well worth the walk over. And outside the palace there were a bunch of stands selling treats with free samples! Yum.
Bright!
Garden!
That was the most interesting thing that happened over those two days. On Thursday (day 8) I had class from 3-6:30, which cut into my explore Japan time. I know what you're thinking, three hours of class! Yeah, kind of painful, but not too bad. It's a Japanese religion class, so part of it is spent in story time mode where we get to hear about Japanese mythology.
