So Benny's plan was to take us to a temple or is it shrine, eek, one day I'll get it right.
Turned out to be this really pretty place and so much fun to have a tour guide such as Benny and a professional photographer, as he pointed out too!

he he he!
Benny makes friends where ever he goes so it wasn't too long before we were chatting away with some junior high school kids
Gotta make sure to wash your hands and mouth before praying!
damn westerner posers!
we also walked inside
Benny made me pose with the Confucius teaching tool. Mmm, what was the lesson again, something about you can never know everything, or something or other
It was really fun to chat with Benny about religion, hear him make inappropriate jokes about Hiroshima, listen to his encounters with famous people and watch him make friends with a journalist to which Benny handed his business card over for a future story write up! He is one cool cat and even booked up into his friend's hotel...eek too generous
View from the hotel room!
For dinner I demanded we all go to my fav restaurant in town, an all-you-can eat joint with quality food to boot. I'm talking sushi, noodles, Chinese-esque food, desserts, fruits and raw meat to cook at your table
From left, Benny, Minako, Mami and Sunny and me!
heck there is even a fairy floss machine!
During dinner I had one of the most surreal/fun experiences of my trip. There was a few tables of junior high girls who kept calling out my name and saying hello as I'd walked past and I'd humor them back. I saw one girl by herself and I went to make friends with her and she kind of froze, ha ha. Too cute!
Ben and I eventually went to get dessert and next thing you know we're ambushed by these girls with their mobiles
It was kind of amazing all the excitement around me! Eventually I found out that Benny had told the girls I was a famous Australia actress in Australia. Holy moly I couldn't stop laughing after hearing that. As we left the restaurant Benny slowed down and told me to wave to all my fans, so we did a slow drive by and I was definitely in stitches at that point
It was fun to be famous for an evening!
