To Kyoto !!!

We set off to Kyoto @8.30am! So early! It was so early that breakfast had to be specially catered to us, JCO, in one of the events room of Swissotel Nankai! Haha! But i had to say.... breakfast doesn't taste good.... =(

At Kyoto, we first went to this temple which i've forgotten the name as it was realli NOT interestin at all... Darlin & me din go into the temple as we gotta take off our shoes (and for me, takin off the boots is especially tedious & "ma fan"!).. We then walked ard the outside of the temple & saw Sandra and gang smokin! Haha! We chatted for a while b4 we set off for the next destination which is lunch!

The Japanese tour guide told us that the lunch was actualli an imperial banquet fit for the king! The lunch turned out to be quite a feast! However, it was so much of Japanese culture (full of raw stuffs! Yuckz!) dat Darlin & me din realli enjoyed it... After lunch, we took pics outside the lunchin area! The area was of fanstastic scenery & we LOVED it!!!

We walked past a Golden Temple where it was realli shinin under the blarin sun! LOL

Next destination was to a BORIN big temple where we could NOT enter to see at all as the tour guide said that the temple is only open on selected dayz! So all we could do was to stand outside the temple to take pics! BORING!!!! We stayed there for ard 5mins b4 we returned to the coach...

The last place which we went to was where we enjoyed ourselves durin this Kyoto trip! I've forgotten the name but it looked like the "Jiu Fen Pu" in Yilan, Taipei! First we visited this temple where there was 2 rocks on 2 ends. It was believed that if ya're able to walk to the other end of the rock with the person of ur dreamz in mind & W/O anyone guidin ya to the end of the other rock, then it means that ya and the other person of ur dream is meant for each other! How COOL! Some of our colleagues took the chance to force Jialin to test it out, and of coz, it's Leonard whom Jialin was thinkin of... Hahahahahah!!! There was also this 3 streams of water symbolizin Health, Wealth, & Wisdom! Darlin chose Wisdom while i chose Health!! Hee

We then proceeded to walk down the temple where there's this stretch of shoppin streets! We ate a lot of goodies there! The most memorable one was the Black Sesame Ice-cream which the tour guide highly recommended! It was indeed so YUMMIE!!!! We also bought 2 packets of Black Sesame Cookies back but it turned out to be of quite different taste compared to when we ate it in Kyoto... =(

The coach reached Swissotel Nankai at ard 7.30pm. Darlin hurried to buy his Black Label tie which cost nearly SGD200! But i encouraged him to buy it as i can see that he liked it a lot! Hee! Upon seein Darlin's smile on his face, i felt happy too! Hee

We then went to Shinsaibashisuji again to shop ard! Some shops were still opened! We (Darlin, Me, Kelvin, Bobby, Joe, Shumei, & Jasmine) went inside this realli nicely decorated underground restaurant!ole of our Japan Trip, especially the fried dumplin!!! The skin was so delicate and crispy!!! The food there was the BEST and most memorable durin the wh We shopped ard for a while b4 goin to Mcdonalds for supper again! Haha! We then stayed there till ard 11+pm where we then went back to the hotel!
