I enjoyed Heian Shrine and the Golden Pavilion mainly because I just love gardens.

You know, for a developed country like Japan, I find that things do not change as fast as some of the developing Asian countries now. I actually found many familiar places back this time after I landed in Tokyo.<BR/><BR/>Yes madam, your wish is my command.

I retraced my footsteps with you because I also remembered fondly a similar trip I made with my own husband in 1981. Your story is very heartwarming and the photographs are very artistic, specially the landscapes. My husband and I also took the Shinkansen then, but on the way back to Tokyo we took the ordinary train, which was slow and took all night, and the seats were hard wood and too small specially for my tall husband. Would you also go to Nara and write about it one of this days. You are doing a travelogue on Japan as much as Bae Yong Joon is doing it to Korea.
