A kohai is expected to respect and obey their senpai, and the senpai in turn must guide, protect and teach their kohai as best they can. <BR/><BR/>acrix : the fushimi-inari shrine with its countless torii surrounded by nature is indeed mesmerizing. if you walk along the hiking trail during a quiet evening, the place feels desolate and eerie. and seems to get more eerie with each steps you take. i experienced once - all alone scared as if i have entered the spirit zone. yes i can send a few pictures of the toriis over the weekend. ok ? what size do you prefer ?<BR/><BR/>ODD : thanks for nice compliment. i am really running out of pictures. but reading your blog gave me new ideas. hey i still have not done the 'I DONT CARE' project that we have agreed on earlier - i have totally forgotten about it.Patrick Leonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11568979339739419708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9916449.post-1118337080250386722005-06-10T01:11:00.000+08:002005-06-10T01:11:00.000+08:00Great photos and very interesting reading.
