16 Jan 2011, Japan Day 9
Its been snowing ever since I woke up this morning, and its already 10 pm now. Snowing all the way from Nagoya to Kyoto. A bit of snow is beautiful, but too much is just.. too much(>_<). They get under your feet, onto your clothes, and into your face. How the temperature dropped so much in a day, I have no idea. The max temperature was around 6 to 7 yesterday. Today, its 1.
The shinkansen ride was meant to take around 35 minutes. Thanks to the snow, it went really slowly though, so it probably took over an hour. Scenery there was all white. Go figure.
Went to see an archery competition at a certain shrine. Old guys shooting. One of them was drawing huge circles while his bow was drawn.. like some hidden techinique or something. Amazingly, he hit the target. Of course, the school boys and girls participated too. Quite the spectacle.
Not much after that, since it was already quite late. Visited a music box museum and had a chat with the staff there while browsing. Dinner at a curry place. Ate something non-curryish. Went to the arcade after that. Played some miku, popn, then went back to the hotel.
