[yadsik]

Kurt, I remember this is the first of your videos I saw because I was interested in Japanese Buddhism at he time. Just looking back - ah the memories of watching your videos late at night many moons ago...

I spotted some graffiti from a Western Person dated 1868 and his name was Joseph Smith. It was quite interesting now, but it must have been a real problem at that time.

Hey Kurt. It is me, Sandy. I am at Heather's house and she just showed me how to subscribe to your videos. Very cool.

So nice to find this... Need to get out of the house and go

somewhere again soon... Kamakura is one of my favorite places in Japan and on a rainy day it gets really nice and still in some places.

Great clip and fun info as usual.

Thanks

I love Japan...can't wait to go there when I'm 20 years old, meaning 4.5 years to go!!! Well...it'd be strange if I went right on my birthday, but I MUST LIVE THERE!

Hi shadowpal2, I hope that you get the chance to come and see the country for yourself. Good luck with your plans! -Kurt :-)

[shadowpal2]

thanks buddy, oh yeah sorry about not commenting on the presentation you gave before, but GREAT JOB. Entertaining, gave great information, and nice. I was surprised that a guy wasn't there to collect the money...that surprised me - I thought it was going to be under some surveillance - but wow, trustworthy haha.

A great posting, my family and I have just returned from Japan visiting there in late January 2008. The Great Buddha Statue in Kamakura Japan, is worth seeing my first tour was back in 1973, the people are just wonderful, the honesty box yes the whole country is HONEST, you feel safe and welcome in the Great Land of the Rising Sun. Well done more postings if you have them.

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful sights of Japan. I travelled there in 1967, and have always wanted to go back. You're taking me there again! Just wish some of the audio was a bit clearer, but I'm lovin' it!

Thank you for a great tour! It was almost like being there.  Enjoyed the sounds of the birds a lot as well.
