Random pictures of Day 3 (from Tokyo to Kyoto)
i decided to discontinue with my never finished post about my tour to Japan in the May 23rd entry.. cause it's getting long..and i'm getting lazy..and bored.. and sometimes very angry with the i-don't-know-what for not working properly.. so i decided to separate the post.. the previous post showed pictures of food.. this post i hope to show pictures of the sceneries in Japan... I love how their greeneries are different from ours.. and how their flowers are so big and brightly-coloured.. i took a picture of me with a HUGE white rose.. but i dont know whose camera is it in.. cause i haven't seen it appearing yet..
Though we didnt go at the best times.. which should be around April (right?) to see Sakura or during autumn to see the red, orange and yellow leaves... we went during the end of Spring and beginning of Summer..
On our way to the Yasukuni Shrine.. early morning, about 6+ am.. yeapz.. as bright as 8+ am here.. sun rises very early in Japan.. from what i read in website.. the few days we were there, the sun rose at around 4.30am.. and set at around 6.30pm.. (i'm at the bottom left corner, wearing a jacket over my pink t shirt)
primary school children in uniforms.. going to school...
a view inside one of the temples in Kyoto at night.. when the lanterns are lit.. Japanese people like to "kao chim", even the youngster.. if the "chim" is good, they will bring the paper back.. if it is bad, they will leave it in the temple. . as can be seen in this picture.. the white papers that are tied to the wooden frame are the bad "chim"... "kao chim" is like shaking this bottle containing long wooden sticks while telling the god what you wan to ask about. then one of the long stick will fall out and you let a "fortune teller-kind of person" tell you the answer to your question according to the stick that fell out .. but the one i saw in Japan is slightly different, there are numbers on the sticks..and you find the drawer with the corresponding number to take out a piece of paper which states your fortune.. so that's the paper that people bring back or tie them there...no fortune teller kind of person there to help you decipher the "chim"...
we sat at the side of this river.. near the bridge.. the place is so nice! cool night breeze...there were ducks in the river! according to our friend, during summer, kids will jump into the river for a swim.. 0_o
we could have sat there the whole night.. haha...
the New Miyako Hotel.. where we stayed when in Kyoto.. got lavender! (^_^)
3 of us in kimono? those were provided by the hotel.. as our pyjamas? bathrobe? since the weather was so cold at night, some of us wore it to sleep.. haha...

end of Day 3..
