We met up again with our friends Ashley and Joseph in Nara City on Christmas afternoon. Unfortunately the sun got away from us and we barely missed the Giant Buddha exhibit, but we got to pet and feed a lot of deer!
They got a bit overwhelmed by the presence of food a few times, though.
Afterwards we had some delicious omurice (rice stuffed omelette) together at a cafe near Nara Station that I can’t recall the name of. I believe ”turtle” was in the name…
From there, they headed back to our house to stay the night (many a youtube video was shared, and we had chocolate pie!).
It was a Merry Christmas indeed, even if the atmosphere didn’t feel much like Christmas at all.
It’s so weird that the deer just come up to you and aren’t afraid!
