Today after class, a few students decide with some instructors to visit the old city of Kamakura. Kamakura is a small villages primary known for its shrines, but there is one more feature that it has that makes it stand out from the neighboring cities. Kamakura is home to one of the Sitting Buddha. There are many Buddha statues all over the world and each one has slight differences from the others. This statue was for one, about two and a half stories tall.We were also able to walk inside the giant Buddha and see some information about how it was made and all the certain stitching that went into the crafting of the Giant Buddha. They say that if you rub the Buddha's belly, you will be blessed with great fortune and luck.
Not much more was done that do due to the rapid approach of the end of our study abroad program. I sacrifice any free time that I has to finishing up any work that I have not started or close to finishing.
