Amanohashidate

On May 25th, taking advantage of a free trip for foreign students organized by Nacha's faculty, Croguay Republic embarked towards one of Japan's three scenic views: Amanohashidate or "heaven's bridge".

Since we have been to Itsukushima shrine already, we only have to go to Matsushima in Miyagi prefecture in order to see all the best spots in Japan according to local tradition.

The day was rainy and we almost didn't go, however, we had a great time and I learned a lot about cartoons played in eastern Europe during the 80's... (for more information refer to Gabor, Florin or Natasa).

The bridge is supposed to look as if it was suspended in the sky by looking at it backwards between your legs. It didn't work for me, but it did make a good picture of it.

I hope you find the pics interesting.

Vive la difference!

Toward no crimes have men shown themselves so cold-bloodedly cruel as in punishing differences of belief.
James Russell Lowell

Diversity is not about how we differ.
Diversity is about embracing one another's uniqueness.

True observation begins when one is devoid of set patterns.

If man is to survive, he will have learned to take a delight in the essential differences between men and between cultures. He will learn that differences in ideas and attitudes are a delight, part of life's exciting variety, not something to fear.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

The wave of the future is not the conquest of the world by a single dogmatic creed but the liberation of the diverse energies of free nations and free men.
