Half the World Away

Episode 126

Ah, Kamakura, my stomping ground, where ancient temples and train rides become the everyday spectacle! So, I'm schlepping my mate around, you know, the casual tour of awesomeness.

We start with Engaku-ji, and my friend's gob is not just smacked; it's doing a full-on gymnastics routine. She's got this look like she just discovered sushi for the first time. Meanwhile, I'm over here like, "Yeah, just another day with the Buddha vibes."

We stroll around the Daibutsu, and I'm narrating like an ancient history professor who moonlights as a stand-up comedian. "So, this colossal dude, big enough to make Goliath question his life choices, has been chilling here since way back when. No biggie.

As we alight at Hase, she's still buzzing with excitement. "This place is incredible!" she says. I smirk, "Yeah, tell that to the Daibutsu. He's been standing there, unimpressed, for centuries."

Then comes the Enoden line. I see her eyes light up as the train approaches. She's snapping pictures like it's a Hollywood red carpet event.

And that, my friends, is how Kamakura, the living museum I call home, transforms a casual stroll into a gobsmacking, eye-popping, Enoden-riding adventure. Just another day in the historical wonderland – where every temple is a gem, and every train ride is a trip through time. Cheers to Kamakura, where even the everyday is extraordinary!

Great day with a great mate,

Keep uploading,folks.
