Japan is probably the place in the world with the greatest number of vending machines per square meter. You find them in every corner, and in some places, you can even find ten of them.

And what can you buy here? Almost any drink. From water to coffee, both cold… and hot! Yes, these machines provide both hot and cold stuff…

One of my guests pointed out something interesting about this… “Hot and cold? So many lights? 24 hours a day? That means a lot of energy.” Completely right, but so it is…

Today is one of those days one would skip from the calendar. I will spend the whole day in airports and airplanes, back to Tokyo. I will probably have no nice seat neighbour to share some talk with, so I will focus in sleeping (I will use some help for this for first time) in the extremely noisy 747, as well as watching some movies and reading my book… Funny, isn’t it?
In this moment, if I am not suffering a big delay in my flight, I should be flying to Europe for an express visit for some paperwork, meeting family, friends, colleagues, and even attending a wedding!
I’ll be back.

Kamakura has more than just a big Buddha… You can find many other interesting spots in many of the temples it has. I enjoyed the visit a lot.
