Daibutsu

Throwback to 2023, when I took 6 of my friends and coworkers with me to Japan:

This is the Daibutsu (大仏) in Kamakura, Japan. It's about an hour train ride SSW of Tokyo. Accessing this statue costs ¥300 to enter, and there's a small gift shop nearby with various touristy trinkets. Though they did have something neat...

Yes, that is Daibutsu beer! It's darker than most of the Japanese beer like Asahi or Kirin. I like that. Japanese beer is pretty weak and I'm not a fan of it. This one was good! There was this old Japanese lady sitting next to us that told me she really likes Budweiser. I apologized profusely and told her I didn't like Bud. To each their own, you know? But she was pretty cool.
