We Visited Deer Heaven and it was Amazing! (Nara Japan)
A trip to Japan is not complete without meeting the famous deer of Nara. Although they are considered wild, they are very accustomed to people giving them rice cakes in exchange for a bow. The folklore says that the god of thunder first appeared riding a white deer at the top of a mountain. Later, the god of thunder, became a deity enshrined in Nara’s Kasuga shrine which made all of the deer inhabiting the area as messengers of god.In 1177, a nobleman visiting the area with his family, encountered a herd of deer with his traveling party. Upon seeing the deer approach, a young boy got out of his carriage and bowed to them. Apparently this struck a cord with the nobleman because 11 years later in 1189, the head of the Fujiware clan, was surveying the rebuilding of the temple on the site when a deer appeared inside the main hall. In his journal he wrote, "I was momentarily bewildered, then joined my hands and bowed to the deer." From then the deer were considered a lucky signal. And to this day, deer in the area have learned they can exchange a bow for a rice cake. Sometimes, the deer get a little aggressive if they think you are withholding treats from them. The deer seem to know a wave good bye means you are out of treats and they will retreat. Aside from thousands of friendly deer, the area houses several temples and shines dating back to the 700's. One of the most famous monuments is the Great Buddha at Todaji Temple. It was the largest wooden building in the world for over one thousand years. The great buddha weighs over 500 tons, almost 50 feet tall and took over 350k people to build it. Todaji is recognized as an Unesco World heritage site and is visited by over 2 million people annually. We visited Isuien Garden while in Nara. It’s a peaceful beautiful garden. If you want some unique pictures for Instagram it may be worth the 900 yen to get in. Only about a 15 minute walk from the train station, it’s considered a respite from the hustle and bustle of the Kasuga Grand Shrine. There’s a tea house that you can also see a tea ceremony. But after we were scammed in Shanghai, we were not interested in more tea ceremonies for this trip. The garden dates back to 1670 and was made by a wealthy merchant on top of a pond with man made islands in the center. If you decide to go all the way to the back, you’ll find another garden… So you get two gardens in one trip. Also included with the garden is admission to a museum founded in 1969. It displays a personal collection of early East Asian art.

journey-to-the-big-buddha-tian-tan
Danny's instagram: www.instagram.com/danieldavidgordon/
Daniel, Michael, and Kevin continue their comprehensive trip to Hong Kong to the Big Buddha. The itinerary includes the visit to Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) located in Ngong Ping.The statue is sited near Po Lin Monastery. Next up was a random trip to a Hot Pot restaurant in Shenzen China.
Unless you come very late in the evening, skip Temple Street Market Unfortunately, we arrived earlier in the evening when only a few things were open. It shows up on all the lists for things to do in Hong Kong. The shops sell very similar tacky trinkets and souvenirs that you don't need to waste your time and money on anyways. Sellers are notoriously aggressive and pushy here. How else would they sell their junk to you? If you choose to come here, make sure to bring a buddy along for security.
Here on Mong Kok, one gets the true feeling Time Square.... not like the area in Hong Kong that is actually called Times Square but bears little resemblance to the one in New York city. True to its name, Mong Kok literally means crowded corner. It offers large shopping malls and the traditional smaller shops and food stalls that have disappeared throughout the other areas of Hong Kong.
In 1991, this area now called Times Square was considered derelict. Developers built up massive malls with big luxury retailers here on cheap land. They installed a Starbucks Reserve store so you know the area is highly valued. It’s considered one of the most prime areas in Causeway bay. A true success story.... But if you are here in Hong Kong, you can really walk through here in under ten minutes.... Occassionally, they have interesting exhibits featured here such as the one we missed for Mickey Mouse’s 90th birthday celebration.
Sadly the neon lights that have made up the Hong Kong landscape are slowly disappearing. The Hong Kong authorities have removed many of the signs due to not complying with local ordinances and energy efficiency. There's also few if any neon light apprentices learning the craft for carrying the tradition in the future. One day, the'll all be led lights just like everywhere else.
If you have only a day or two to visit Hong Kong, what can you expect to see here during your quick visit? We’ll explore these areas with you here in this video.
Central is actually centrally located in Hong Kong. It’s where you usually pick up a train or the star ferry when venturing off to different parts of the island or departing to Macau or mainland China. By foot or public transit, this is often your base for most activities. Central is also where you would go to go on the Peak tram to the top of the mountain to get the best view of Hong Kong.

THE H
the-hidden-treasures-of-tokyo-disneyland
To say the Japanese people are big fans of Disneyland is an understatement. They built a Disneyland park in the 1980s of their own for a big reason. Nearly 18 million people visited the park in 2018 making it the third most visited theme park on the planet.
Unlike many attractions and restaurants at Tokyo Disneyland that are alternate versions of themselves from the Magic Kingdom or Disneyland, Queen of Hearts Banquet Hall is unique to Tokyo Disney and has what many Japanese say has a Kawaii (or really cute) theme. Outside of Shanghai Disneyland and Disneyland Paris, The Queen of Hearts Banquet is the most immersed you will get into the world of Alice in Wonderland. Upon entering, you must go through the mouth of the door knob to “enter Wonderland”. Decorations inside the hall is where this restaurant stands out and even exceeds the theming of most of the over the top theming at Las Vegas Nevada buffets. One of the best visual features of the restaurant is the stained glass along the perimeter of the castle. If you dine here, I highly recommend the Heart-Shaped Meat Patty with Tomato-Brown Sauce. Although its not amazing, it Is very good.
The Beaver Brothers Explorer Canoes is likely one of the lowest tech rides here at Tokyo Disney. IT gives you a work out unless you are like me and let the others do most of the work propelling the boat while I video record the ride. The lead guide gives some humorous descriptions of what you're seeing along the way, although he's speaking in Japanese so you’ll have to rely on their mannerisms if you don’t speak the language. If you want to simply ride around the river and enjoy the view, the Mark Twain Riverboat follows the same path as the canoes and requires no active participation on your part.
This video was recorded on our final day of Disney parks during our trip to Asia in 2018. It brings us back to better times when people could form large crowds close together and can still see peoples faces. Returning back to Tokyo Disney for a second day was a good bet. We got to do things we didn’t get to do the first time around like visiting this coin arcade on main street.
