Japan 3 almost done

Hello everyone it has just been so crazy these past few weeks for me. Most of the time I am not sure what I am eating but taste good. I get lost some time but them find really cool places. Right now I am loving the homestays living with other family's is weird and cool at the same time. They know cook places to eat and check out cool places to see.
  When I was in Hiroshima I went to the place where our 1000 cranes were donated to. It was really amazing. I could not find where are cranes were but I tried to.
  I am currently in Kyoto and it is a really amazing place. You know I am getting close to ending those whole experience and I kinda wanna keep going but at the same time I am missing my friends and family and of course my I Ho Chuan team. Also my black belt classes. Those classes always got me thinking and let's me know just how much I don't know. It is a class where I see everything differently and learn new and exciting things about something as simple as moving forward. I know moving forwards foes not sound like much and your kinda right, but sometimes simple is not as easy as you think.
Anyways here are some more pictures






































So remember ordinary people extraordinary actions

Japan 2

Hello everyone man it has just been so crazy the past week. I got a little nausea on the ferry ride, I was not able to see Kumamoto castle because it was falling apart, but despite all that I have been having a blast people here sure are friendly.
 For me it seems they take random acts of kindness to another level. I was just walking in the rain when a old man decided to use his umbrella to cover me and him. He walked all the way to the train station then he went on his way.  Another time I was kinda lost and a man helped me find my way and then once again he left to go his way. Just amazes me here I thought I was kind but I can't remember the last time I went out of my way for a stranger to help them can you?
 Also I find it extremely clean here but they have no garbage cans anywhere. Just some recycle bins that actually have only recycling in them. I have seen garbage on the streets but not very often.
  I also thought I came to Japan when it was cherry blossom season, but turns out I am a bit to early oh well.
 Oh I think one of the highlights of my trip now was when I visited Miyamoto Musashi cave where he wrote Gorin No Sho. I can see why he pick that location very calming and for quite the exciting place
  Anyways here are more pics.






















Oh and I think I came up with a new saying that was inspired by the shirt I got. Remember everyone ordinary people extraordinary actions.
