Roaming Kyoto Chapter 2

---

Two little things about Kyoto that annoy me.

First, I still haven't finished writing about my visit there two weeks ago, and now another amazing time we have this week that I need to package into a journal.

Second, even though my Kyoto visits are always short and the number of my Kyoto photos are only fractions of all photos on a blog entry, they almost occupy my entire first page photo display.

That basically sums up my Kyoto experience. Always pleasant and just that outstandingly picturesque. This time I met up with my roomie Adina with her friends to explore Kyomizudera. It took us forever to get there from Kyoto Station. ^^ Lunch and snacks time and food samplings dragged down our paces. We proudly tasted Kyoto specialties without a sense of time. Priceless. That allowed us to reach Kyomizudera by sunset. ^^ And WOW! Gorgeous!! Let my photos do it justice. The trees are starting to show the change of season. I sure will come back often to see the leaves taking a more dramatic red dye.

I also went to Osaka Port with ten other senseis from my school and we had a wicked field work study around the Port. The social studies sensei explained the history of Osaka port of when Japan was at wars and it was thoughts-evoking. But due to my understanding after the translations from my JTEs is no longer first hand knowledge. So I decide not to speak more than I should. History is aught to be accurately presented. So until I know more about it, I would just keep listening, less talking.

Love,

Fang

Thanks!
Thanks Jo! You've got some amazing photos there too, especially the Hanshin game. I'm jealous of the whole panorama function of your camera. ^.P
