Heaven is for real

Heaven is for real - the book

This book is an account of a four year old boy who claimed to have gone to heaven and back. Well, the book was written by his father who gathered all the information from him. It happened when the boy had a surgery. During the surgery, he claimed to have flown out from his body and went to heaven.

Well, the interesting piece was how he described heaven, Jesus, his great grandfather whom he never met, his other sister whom did not make it to the world (and his parent never told him about this) and other heaven stuff.

His parent always him asks how does Jesus look like. Because he can't fully describe the feature of Jesus' face (he was only four, remember), he can only answer if the portrait resembled Jesus. Most of the portraits do not match to what he's seen. Until one day when his father came across a news about another kid had a vision of heaven and able to paint it out. And here how Jesus looks like, according to two sources from what I've read.

How do you feel after looking at the portrait?

The wedding of ....

This wedding has some similarity with ours but, by comparison in every detail, each is still distinctly unique.

Last day in Sendai

After spending five days in Sendai, my visit here has finally come to an end. On my last day, I took a tour of the Kirin Beer Factory. I must say that the tour was quite informative—slightly better than the one I had at a beer factory in Malaysia. Visitors were able to touch, smell, and taste during the tour. We were served at least three different types of Kirin beer for tasting. Although the tour was short, it was uplifting. I had lunch at their restaurant, which was probably my most expensive meal during this trip to Sendai. In the afternoon, I took an Uber to Arahama Elementary School, which has now been turned into a museum. It is located on the eastern side of Sendai, an area that was hit by the tsunami following the earthquake on March 11, 2011. On that day, after the quake, the schoolchildren were evacuated to the rooftop of the building. About 27 hours later, they were all rescued. The school now exhibits the impact of the tsunami, the conditions on that day, and the aftermath...

Kumano Kodo - Day 2

After a good rest, I departed for Hosshimon-oji. The hotel provided free transit to the Hongu area, so I saved some time waiting for the bus. The plan for the day was a 7 km walk from Hosshimon-oji to Oyunohara. Since my next lodging was in the Yunomine Onsen area, I decided to add an extra walk from Oyunohara to Yunomine Onsen, which was about 2.2 km. At Hosshimon-oji, the trail is essentially a connecting route to the Takijiri trail. The previous stamping station was about 800 meters from Hosshimon-oji, so I made a detour to Inohana-oji. That detour added approximately 1.6 km to my journey, taking about 30 minutes or more. From Hosshimon-oji (after detouring via Inohana-oji), I started walking toward Hongu Taisha, which was about a 2.5-hour walk. Along the way, I stopped to rest and take photos. It was quite a leisurely walk. Part of the trail is paved, while the rest consists of forest paths lined with cypress trees (I guess). By the time I reached the town around Hongu Taisha, it w...
