Kyoto, Japan

Towards the end of January I had the chance to visit Japan with my brother Philip. It was a holiday simply to get away from all the worries in the past few months, as well as a chance to see each other after two years apart.

The passing of our mother made me want to weave a better web amongst us brothers, Philip, Kevin, and I, simply because the original bond, my mother, isn’t here anymore.

I am sure mom would want us to stick together, through good and bad times as well.

During this trip, Philip and I travelled through Kyoto, Osaka, Shusenji (in Izu), and Tokyo. These are the pictures that describe our fun times during this two-week trip.

Finally stopped for lunch – walked into a small store around the temple and trying to figure out the menu…

Toured another temple before heading back to the hotel – this one is called Yasaka Shrine 八坂神社, worshipping the gods of performance arts…
Notice something strange about this picture? The evidence of the evil infiltration of Western Civilization…
