ky, me n lc.. when i saw this view, i stood there silently for a while.. looking at it.. thinking of the way to describe it when i go back home.. cause it is just so beautiful....really..
i think the scenery is really quite beautiful.. in one of the parks..
cute little flowers.. in the same park also...
Golden Pavillion Temple.. well, it's golden..it wasn't golden originally.. but after a fire damaged the original building, it was renovated and furnished with gold-leaves...
a small path near the temple...
there were 2 stones set apart near this signboard.. it was said that if you could walk safely from one stone to the other with your eyes closed, you would find your love soon.. if not, it would be long before you find your love.. did we try? no..cause there were just too many people there..and we figure it would be quite impossible to walk from one stone to the other safely with our eyes closed! but we saw a young man trying.. with guide from another person.. don't know whether he succeeded or not.. haha..
see.. soo many people.. and mostly school kids!
another temple.. with Japanese schoolboys on trips... the many days we were there, we saw school kids everywhere.. seemed like eveyrone having school trips at around the same time.. hehehe..
our lunch at a sushi bar.. cause we told our friend-cum-tour guide that we had not eaten sushi yet! and it's already day 4! so he took us to this place which serves affordable sushi.. one plate is 120 yen.. which is less than S$2... about the same as Genki Sushi in Singapore.. our friend-cum-tour guide even calculated a rough estimate of how much we would be spending..which totalled to about 7 plates each.. so we counted as we ate.. hahah.. we sat in tables of 4 and 3.. our table didnt reach the 28 plates limit though.. i was SOO happy when i saw the sushi comin out.. 90% of them were raw! lolz... but "laoban" don't take raw food.. and asked me not to take so much also..haha.. salmon..yummy.. unagi.. yummy.. everything was good! haha..
bicycles.. bicycles everywhere in Kyoto.. and the Japanese are really good with their bicycles.. since it rained the whole day we were touring Kyoto, we could see great balancing act.. of umbrellas and bicycles.. i even saw an auntie talking on the hp, while riding her bicycles.. but her bicycle had an umbrella holder where she stuck her umbrella there.. some girls were wearing skirt and still can ride their bicycle while holding an umbrella.. and still looked pretty! this really got me amazed..
Kyoto University... where our friend-cum-tour guide is studying in..
end of Day 4 with us playing pool, table tennis, piano and taking tons of crazy pictures in our friend-cum-tour guide's dormitory..Labels: Japan
