This is one of the two main religions in Japan, the other being the Shinto religion, which has always fascinated me. My uncle Giau is a Buddhist and has taught me much about it!

It amazes me how this temple has gone through fires over 10 times and they were still able to reconstruct it.

They are very different compared to our housing in America. Japanese homes seem more compact, while American homes are more spacious. The design of their houses reflect Japanese culture while American homes can be designed many ways from modern to old-fashioned. I would definitely like to experience what it's like to live in one of these houses.]]> 2017-01-11 17:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/ldk4u4brjpr6/wish/146592687 Veronika Pronska Aikido Martial Arts: https://padlet.com/ansaikansai/ldk4u4brjpr6/wish/165518671 Aikido is a Japanese martial art.
