England glanced around at the old wooden shrine.
He was suprised there was a religion like Shintoism and was intrigued by it.
He was puzzling over how to make and offering to the shrine and stood uncertainly by the large torii gates.

"Oh, hello, England-san," Japan saw the United Kingdom country. "What brings you out here?" he asked.

England turned to him and smiled.
"Hello Japan, I had some time off and wanted to stop by, I really wanted a peaceful historic visit so I came here."
He looked up at the altar.
"How do I honor the spirit here?" he asked totally lost.

England nodded and knelt before the statue.
He opened one eye.
"How long do I stay here?" he whispered to Japan.
His knees were beginning to hurt.

Japan finished his prayer and stood up as well. He nodded to the British man. "Its why most people come here," Japan told him.

He smiled a little.
"Yeah, I guess so. Well, can I take a picture of it?" he asked taking out a small digital camera.

England handed his camera to Japan and stood by the ancient shrine.
For a moment, he thought of what he had done in the past 1000 years, he gave a small,sad smile.

England snapped out of his daze and nodded to Japan.
"Cheese" he said as the camera flashed.
He flet several presences and saw,much to his suprise, sleek foxes walking silently out of the bushes.
((Mixing shrines makes it more fun))

Japan didn't see the fox come out as he handed England back the camera. "What brought you out here to my country?" he asked.
