Kanna cheated...

Went to Nikko today.... Very nice place. Will recommend to everyone to go there.... But hor... I kanna cheated at Nikko's world heritage site - Toushougu... The travel guide says its ostentious... Its more than ostentious... Even more chinese than chinese temples... All gold, a lot of dragons...

How I kanna cheated? I bought this entrance ticket to Toushougu for 1300yen, which entitles me to entrance to all parts of the temple.... So Toushougu is famous for 3 things, besides its design. The 3 things are - the 3 monkeys, the sleeping cat and the crying dragon. Ok... kanna cheated by the sleeping cat... Since the sleeping cat entrance fee already included in the price, of cos i must see it mah... ok lor... so i stepped into the temple area and started walking inwards...

As I walked... jialat... why the road stretching so far in... and wah lau! so many staircases...! and very steep some more... see the pic... this is only half of 1 section of all the staircases... Think 1 section got about 50plus steps and there's 3 of them... hard to climb some more...
Halfway... I start to think... wah lau... so much effort just to see 1 cat... never mind... finally walk all the way up... panting like crazy... NO CAT! just a bell sitting on a tomb! and i walked round the area 2 times... still never find... I bueh tahan... i ask the temple assistant... and she said the cat is downstairs!!! WAH LAU! All my effort....

OK lor... so i slowly walk down... no railing some more plus my phobia of going down steep staircase... so heart wrenching!... I walked all the way to the entrance... and WAH LAU! the cat is there... AT THE ENTRANCE! ARGH!

See the cat....
And hor! there is sign right below it! And I walked right past it when i went thru the entrance! the sign even says... walk to the end to-and-fro will take 20mins... tell u all hor... the timing by the japanese is different one... we must times 3 for our pace... can die....
