Kyoto…

Shun & I at Kiyomizu-dera

I finally managed to get the couple of photos that I managed to take in Kyoto, before my camera broke, onto the computer. Here are just a couple of the photos from the trip! Shun and I try to take one trip together inside of Japan each year…Last year was Okinawa, this year Kyoto, and next year hopefully somewhere close like Hakone (Because we will be going to Australia in July we will need to go before then…maybe late February we will go for onsen!)

The above photo is of Shun and I at Kiyomizu-dera . This was my first time to visit this temple, and I am so glad I got to see it. I had really wanted to see it when I was in Kyoto several years back but hadn`t had enough time.

Drinking tea in Kiyomizu dera!

We sat in a mini outside cafe and enjoyed tea and cha-dango…This was my first time to try cha-dango….I am not a huge fan of mochi because I always feel like I am never going to be able to get it all out of my mouth…but with the tea it was actually quite nice!

Dragon at Kiyomizu-dera

No temple is complete without some kind of dragon! And what better than a dragon fountain!!!

We also went to visit Heian Shrine….I only managed to get two photos before I dropped my camera and it broke…

It was beautiful though!

I had a great time in Kyoto. It was a shame about my camera…I would have loved to be able to show you photos from when I met up with my highschool friend Kanako!!! I did use a disposable camera the rest of the time I was there but I still haven`t gotten around to getting the photos developed!!! When I do I will try to find a scanner and scan some in!

    YAY! KYOTO PICS!
    Awww, I love Kyoto.. you would think I would go more since I live so close, but I think I’ve only been twice, maybe 3 times..

    Thanks for the novel you left me in my blog! I love reading them!! You must be so excited to be going back to Australia for a year!!! I am so jealous, I wish I could go home for a little bit, but a year might seem very long espicially if you are used to living here. When are you planning on leaving? I hope that one day we can meet up!! Whether it be pre go home or post coming back :)
    By the way.. I hope Shunpei can manage to give up smoking again!! Espicially if you want kids (in paricular sons..) guys who smoke have more daughters.. but anyways, ugg.. Im so glad Ryohei doesn’t but then again I tend to get smoke headaches when Im around smoke for too long.

    I used to die in karaoke! Well until I got drunk, then I would notice it less!
    Anyways I’ve digressed!! Keep up your November postings!

    Yay! I love Kiomizudera! I’ve been there twice! It’s my favourite! I think I also have a pic of that dragon. Such a romantic place!
