    A few days ago we bought a new surround system. The sales guy made a mistake (lack of knowledge) so the system doesn’t support everything that we need to have.
    After a few minutes with the sales support they said…. This is our fault, can we pick up next week!!!! Talk about support!

    We visited the Zojoji temple and were amazed at the numbers of little Jizo statues that were both so colourful and sad at the same time. The Jizo statues are the Buddist “angels” and are the protector of the souls of stillborn babies. They all had little red bonnets and many of them held colourful windmills.
