Yes had been away for some workshop... will update the pics soon keke..
Because we need to go to either Osaka or Kyoto to catch a shinkansen back to Nagoya by night, we could only stop by at one more attraction in Nara (and when I mean stop by, it's stopping by to take some pics only =p)
on the way (we walked all the way...) - the deers are very obedient (and smart). They will not attack the food on the stalls (probably learnt from experience =p), they will wait until someone buys and then keep following (or bumping) to get some shares...
some students on historical trips?
Finally reached Kofukuji
This temple was established by Kagaminookimi (鏡大君), the first wife of Emperor Tenji praying for her husbands’s recovery from illness in Yamashina, Yamashiro Province (present-day Kyoto) in 669. In 672, the temple was moved to Fujiwara-kyō, the first artificially planned capital in Japan. In 710, the temple was moved again to newly constructed capital, Heijō-kyō, today’s Nara.

Five-story Pagoda (五重塔) at Kofukuji
There's this deer pattern on the white 'curtain' (umm how do you call that?)
closer look
Kofukuji
Trishaw can easily be spotted in Nara (due to the lack in bus.. and no subway)
(If this is in KL, it would have disappeared...) there are many nice design and I love this the most!
An alley near the JR Nara train station - i stupidly thought Namba is not equal to Osaka city and decided to take JR instead of Kintetsu - Kintetsu station is much nearer to Nara Park and Namba is like the city center of Osaka...
train to Osaka!
