+<p>I call this one “trip zero”, because it was very much a trial run for
+me. The effects of having just moved to Japan for the year were still
+fresh and I altogether didn’t feel like exploring quite yet.</p>
+<!-- TODO: look at diary for this previous section -->
+<p>Kamakura being a common day-trip from Tokyo, I took the train from my
+home near Asakusa past Yokohama which only takes 1.5h. The weather was
+pretty meh, very cloudy and it looked like it would rain any moment.</p>

+<p>The main sight in town (according to most guide books at least) is
+the big Buddha<a href="#fn1" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref1"
+role="doc-noteref"><sup>1</sup></a>. Naturally I wanted to get that out
+of the way first.</p>
+<p>I had left the house earlier without breakfast, so off I went to the
+next Lawson to get myself some. For some reason I decided to get a
+Katsu-Sandwich<a href="#fn2" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref2"
+role="doc-noteref"><sup>2</sup></a>, which is out of character for me -
+I usually go for Onigiri - and then to have it on the beach nearby.
+Seeing as i was the only person eating anything there should’ve been
+hint enough. As soon as I sat down to take a bite, something comes
+dashing down past my head. I am obviously startled but not prepared for
+the bird to come back to actually pick the sandwich out of my hand this
+time around.</p>
+<p>There were a few birds (crows in my interpretation) circling overhead
+just waiting for me to unwrap more food. To have my breakfast in peace I
+just walk off into town again. Staying away from open spaces for a bit
+😄</p>
+<p>On my way back to the centre of town, I find a bucket of see-through
+plastic umbrellas <a href="#fn3" class="footnote-ref" id="fnref3"
+role="doc-noteref"><sup>3</sup></a> outside what looked like a beauty
+saloon, with a sign telling passer-bys to take one (in Japanese ofc). I
+guess the visibly imminent rain made the shop keeper put them out there
+for tourists (conveniently helping him get rid of <em>what was probably
+left behind by his own clients</em>). Naturally I picked one up: This
+umbrella would be with me for the next months.</p>
+<p>There isn’t really that much to say about the big Buddha, in the end
+it’s just a large statue (that you can go inside of for a fee).</p>
+<p>Despite the weather there was a surprising amount of tourists and I
+wanted to get out of the bustle, so I followed the street that had let
+to the temple <!-- TODO: what temple --> area. A bit further I came to
+some stairs next to one of the tunnels that lead out of the Kamakura
+city area, that cut through the surrounding hills. OrganicMaps told me
+there was a hiking path up there, which I could take to circle back
+towards the train station.</p>
