A folded paper crane I received from a group of grade-schoolers in front of the silver pavillon 銀閣寺 in Kyoto 京都. I usually detest getting caught by them, but this group was kind of nice, so I decided to answer them properly. If you have been around Japan, you may know those groups of grade-schoolers swarming major tourist destination with their teachers to get some hands-on experience with foreigners, usually by presenting you some kind of questionnaire with always the same questions. They usually get really confused when a foreign-looking person answers with a place name in Japan confronted with the question “where you are living”. They took their usual “I’m with a gaijin”-photo and quickly dispersed, like they usually do after getting their desired answers. But hey, I got a crane. -- source link
