From Sashimi to Golf-ini. her skin was paler had a accompanied by a toilet seat which heated and softened the most delicate part of the female body. After my experience in the hightech hot spring , the jet-lag disappeared in front of the Eastern sun. In the Zen-like Nara park I was escorted by numerous deers, whom were easy to caress, without any sign of anxiety. Although I do like deer, oh dear do not eat these holy animals. Similar to the cows in India: deers are holy creatures.

Be gentle. Don’t feed yourself with these lovely, kaki coloured mammals. Enough said about these sacred personifications of mankind.

Fascinated by this holy violence, I decided to visit even more temples. Amongst those was a UNESCO heritage monument, which is one of the oldest Japanese temples and monasteries: *Horyuji*.

After lunch, it was inevitable that I hit further and more n addition to playing golf, praying for birdies and playing golf a little bit more, the recisely. ood was more divine than anything else. Outstanding sushi was found in unknown *sake*- ars. Especially the horsemeat sashimi (*sakura*, named after the colour of cherry-blossom) elted on my tongue, similar to the *sake toro* (fatty salmon) and sea urchin (the foie-gras of he empire) were sucked up with more ease than the ball would ever be sucked into the hole. Next story will be on Golf in Sotogrande (Spain).
