 Amsterdam Every year, to celebrate my birthday, I travel somewhere, in 2019 I went to Morocco , in 2020 to Israel and this year (2022) I decided to visit Amsterdam. It was a long time since I wanted to visit this city and there I have a friend that I wanted to see, so with these three points combined, I decided to visit Amsterdam in winter. I spent five days in Amsterdam and I visited the city plus some places outside like Zaanse Schans, Zandvoort and Haarlem. One important thing is that I forgot my camera so all the pictures were taken with my phone, maybe the quality is not high but I think they are anyway beautiful.

Fukuoka From here started my real Japan trip, I had to go back to Tokyo and I decided to do it stopping in the main Japanese cities. The first one was Fukuoka, the biggest city in Kyshyu island. I really enjoyed this city, I didn't expected such a nice city with a lot to give. Nanzoin temple A peaceful place  This temple is a bit outside Fukuoka, half an hour by train.  It is really a peaceful place, not really touristic, surrounded by a forest. It is possible to feel the holiness of the place, and have the time to enjoy yourself. Buddha The temple is famous for the big Buddha. It's  41 meters l ong , 11 meters high, and 300 tons.  The statue depicts Buddha at the moment of death .   It's the most famous part of the temple, but not the only one.   Into the woods In Nanzoin there's a path in the woods, where you can find a small temple and a lot of divinity statues to idolise. ...
