Woody and I
visited Kyoto from the 12th Aug - 15th Aug.
Let me tell
you there is nothing like
visiting Kyoto
in the middle of summer! It is
so hot, I
had a towel to mop up the sweat and at on
stage I could
peel it from my back! Plus
there was
the time when my friend and I trekked for about an
hour in the
middle of a day to find a Mos burger. But
let me say
it was worth it!
Also Kyoto
is the land of temples. Everywhere you look TEMPLE.
Also it is
the land of Gaijin or in english foreigners.
Whats more
funny is my friend and I who is japanese but speaks
fluent english,
we would talk on the bus to various places and people
would just
stare at us! Which got annoying but hey what can
you do really!
_______
_______
Ginkakuji -
translates into "Silver Pavilion". Not only is there the temple but
it's surrounded
by beautiful Japanese gardens.
___________
Kinkakuji -
Is one of Japan's best known sights called the Golden Temple. Once again
this famous temple is surrounded by equally beautiful gardens.
_______
Kiyomizu-dera - this place is very popular with the Japanese tourist as below the main temple is this waterfall, and behind this mini waterfall thing is a building and it is believe that this water is sacred and there was a huge line up for it so I chose not to drink it, Its called Otawa-no-taki. It is believed that this water has therapeutic properties.

more fun! Now you think they would know if it was or wasn't.

These are

take notice,
or I don't remember either way.
