However, reality has a different take on it. Yes, dear architect, clouds exist.

#3 The Nagano Perfecture

Known for its 7th-century Zenkō-ji temple, which houses a “hidden Buddha” statue shown publicly only once every 6 years, the Nagano Perfecture sets the bar quite high.

Sadly, the Brits can't live up to it either.
