Some of the best food I’ve ever had… Yum!

... It seemed so huge—like an international airport or something.

But then, as I kept going back here (for dinner or shopping or just to hang out with friends), I got familiar with the areas. Now, I can navigate my way around without any problem. ;D

I guess it’s because I went during Golden Week (a week when most of the Japanese are on vacation) so it was massively crowded, but my experience in Nara wasn’t that great…

I felt really bad for the deer—they seemed so miserable! They’re always surrounded by people and forced to eat the little biscuits—even when though they’ve had enough. I was really looking forward to petting and feeding the deer myself, but when I saw the number of people forcing the food into their mouth, I just couldn’t bear to do it.
I remember seeing this one couple who tried to feed a deer, but since it wouldn’t eat it, they stuck the biscuit into its hooves (to make it seem like it’s holding it) and took a picture on their cellphones, all the while the deer is just sitting there, looking sad. :/

Todaiji was awesome, though.
