And you still don't have the right lookAnd you don't have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends
High School Never Ends
The Whole Damned World is just as obsessed
With who‘s the best dressed and who's having sex
Who‘s got the money
Who gets the Honeys,
Who‘s kinda cute and who‘s just a mess
K, since I've got some time now, I shall update! Haa! I'm losing all my faithful readers. :S Aww, do keep checking out k, I promise I will still update. Tomorrow's the eve already! Going to my aunt's to celebrate and probably will stay-over there. Yes, Christmas = Lovely presents! :DDD
Day 4. (Kyoto.)
Osaka to Kyoto via the bullet train (Shinkasen) which only took no more than twenty minutes I think.

Kiyomizu Temple. (清水寺)



The small wooden plaques are called "ema" votive pictures, offering prayers with vows of love. Each plaque is like a letter to the God for one's wish to come true. It is believed that your wish will be granted on the first Sunday of every month. Haa, I even went to peep at some. :D




This place is famous for its wide wooden veranda jutting out over an exquisite valley that extends to a panoramic view of the city.


This place looks like Taiwan's Jiufen right guoju/chermaine!
Golden Pavilion (Kinkakuji)
Originally built in 1394 by some general for his retirement, but it's a pity he passed away even before he had the chance to live in it. It's kinda exaggerating, I mean who would build a house made of 100% pure gold?! I want to build one with Spongebob, Pink Panther, Elmo, Pooh and everything cute printed on the outside, but wait till I become a millionaire first. :D

We also passed the Gion Street, a former Geisha district (Memories of a Geisha!) and caught a Kimono fashion show at the Nishijin Textile Centre.
Shall end at Day 4 for today, need to start on the Whale Rider now, bye! :DD
Labels: Kyoto, Japan, Gion Street, Geisha, Nishijin Textile Centre, Kinkakuji, Golden Pavilion.
