Binita's Golden Week Web Post!

For the 5 days the international students had off between Golden Week holidays, Chase and I were barely at our home stay. Each day, we went out and saw something new, or at least, it was new to me. On the 25th, we went to the temple closest to our home stay. While admiring the sights, we were approached by an energetic man who went by the name Old Man Mameda.

Still energetic at 80, Old Man Mameda considered himself something of the temple's very own tour guide, using his English fluency to pick out foreign visitors and show them around. As he was well versed in the temple's history, as well as the names of every kind of flower in the gardens, he certainly added something to our visit that we wouldn't have been able to experience on our own.


The webpage for the temple can be found here (Japanese).
