"Nara!" "Kyoto!"

A DAY OFF!! Bwahahahaha! I think I'm starting to loose my mind a bit here...

Anyway, on Saturday me and Pola went to Nara. First, we visited my friend's photo exhibition in Tawaramoto; country Japan is really cute; about 10000 people live in this town, and they built a HUGE culture center in the middle of nowhere. Nevertheless, it was quite interesting - the photos were taken during my friend Toshi's travells and I was even in one of them. We also helped to set up the exhibition.

After the exhibition we went to the historical Nara to get bitten and trampled by the mini-deers - shika - that roam the streets freely there. They are always hungry and will chew on your handbag or bite your butt if you don't have anything else to eat. And of course they poo and pee everywhere, so you have to watch your step; don't let the adorable pictures fool you!
We walked around the city for a few hours and had lots of fun speaking Polish and commeting people's looks. It's silly, but it was funny to talk weird stuff when nobody even realised what language we're speaking.

On the 14th we have a special visitor - a kabuki actor Nakamura Kankuro - and maybe I will have a chance to talk to him. I'm looking forward to it, but at the same time I'm pretty nervous that I will say something stupid and embarrass myself...
