just got down from the bus stopafter we got the umbrella, we went across the the station to board the bus to Nara Park. while waiting for the bus, i actually fell asleep. the bus ride was only a short one when we reached our stop. however, when we get off the bus it was slightly drizzling still. we passed the national museam before heading to Tojai-ji. before we reach, we passes so many deers, this is from the moment we alighted from the bus stop. there is even deer crossing signage on the road nearby the Nara Park vicinity.
