Osaka holidays: Day 4
(Monday, May 31, 2010/9:23 PM)
As the day of my return to Singapore inevitably draws nearer, I'm compelled and motivated to live the remaining days of my student life in Japan to the fullest. =) Which is why I seldom have time to update my blog regularly nowadays. But here's the overdue update on my trip which is almost a month ago. (>.<)
On day 4 of our trip, we went to Kyoto, THE place to go if you're into Japanese traditional culture. The city boasts of splendid, exquisite temples and shrines, traditional streets, bolstered by a rather vibrant modern youth culture in the town centre!
But the crowd was horribleee... =( It took us 1 hour to get to one attraction, when on normal days, it would probably take 20 minutes or so. Moral of the story: Don't travel to Japan during the Golden Week. =S
Gateway to the magnificent Kiyomizu-dera
A shrine dedicated to matters of love... Only in Japan! =D
Tired from climbing but still happy =)
Next up, another wildly popular tourist attraction, Kinkakuji (goldennn)
Waaa~ It's blinding my eyes!!! (okay, that was lame)
Back to the same spot I sat 2 years ago when I came to Japan with Jeffrey, my Japanese class buddy
Apparently famous spot but we only looked at it from a bridge. Should be interesting to dine with that ambience! (if it weren't that cold =S)
Everything is falling into place... Establishing strong friendships with my international friends, getting to socialize with new people frequently, re-connecting with Fukuoka Harvest Church, and of cos', meeting the love of my life. =)
I don't want to leave... But all things good must come to an end... Whatever it takes, I'll work my way back here someday...
