How did you spend your New Year? On January 2nd my wife and I went on a day trip to Eiheiji (永平寺)in Fukui-Ken. It is famous for being one of the two head temples of the Soutou sect of Zen Buddhism. It was like travelling to a different country. Why? Because the whole area was 'blanketed'in/with snow. We did,however,get caught in massive jams. This meant we arrived home nearly two-and-a-half hours late. We really wanted some exercise so we then walked home. All in all,a great day!(^-^)/
