Yesterday I went to Kinkaju-ji: the golden pavilion. I got there early to beat the crowds of tourists, and it was filled with school-kids instead! A group of them wanted to take a picture with me. I’m still not sure why 😂 maybe it was a school assignment?

Mentioned elsewhere on the indieweb

Apparently theres a whole culture abt the pictures, and not just in japan: reddit.com/r/travel/comme…


Maybe! 🎩 keeping me stylish, and keeping the sun off my face!


I’d say also the curly hair but that would be too speculative... never saw a Japanese with curly hair !:-)


It’s the hat !
