VGMAND Tour Part 3

Oct 03, 2008 18:26

Lost in Kyoto. Sort of anyway since I was already moving in the right direction to begin with .

I thought I was lost since I can't find one of the tourist spots to visit. But when You're in Kyoto the best chance of finding said tourist spot is to follow the horde of students. It seems that Japanese students always get a Kyoto trip some point in their school life. Another way is to head towards the mountains.
Must be the culture thing. I didn't see any Geisha maybe because they're not in that part of Kyoto?

Visited a place call Tenryuji and saw a Kannon (Kwan Yim) statue. Pray for health and luck for family and friends. Walk a lot, saw the river (is awesome). Did not go up monkey mountain since thats not on my initiatory. One of these days I really need to learn how to ride a bicyle because I realised the Bamboo Grove is on the other side of town. Already am tired don't want to walk.

Side note

Notice something very interesting. Since the town I'm staying in has mountains to the north, every morning there's a very thick layer of mist hanging around. Its kinda cold that I could see my breath in the air. By mid morning the mist would have lifted. I had Silent Hill moments in those morning when walking to the station.
