The major attraction at Nara is the Todai-ji Temple, the largest wooden structure in the world and built to house an exceedingly large Buddha. The temple has of course been rebuilt over the years and must have been even more impressive in it's early days, because despite it's current world record size it is only two thirds of it's original size. We were starting to be affected by 'Temple Fatigue' at this point, but we continued on around the sights of Nara park (managing to avoid being harassed by the wild deer) and eventually stumbled on yet another wedding. I think much of the main ceremony had already taken place inside one of the temples, but we got to see the end of the proceedings which continued outdoors. The wedding party all seemed remain remarkably composed considering that there were 50 or so tourists just behind them taking pictures!
