Fresh Country Air



... Ever wondered what the Japanese countryside looks like?







Although we have small paddies dotted around Kyoto in the middle of residential areas, (filled with cute frogs!) it's nice to see fields and fields of them out in the countryside.











These were taken from the train between Kyoto/Nara and Kyoto/Tokyo. These were the most peaceful parts; some areas of the countryside do have tall buildings, flashing arcades, and giant advertisements, but these quieter areas still exist also.

I'm still alive!



And unharmed by gigantic typhoons and earthquakes! Hooray!
