I Want To Buy Golf Balls

Japan, Day 13

Today, then Kyoto. Kyoto is one of the largest cities in Japan and was up to the beginning of the 17th Century, the seat of the Tenno (= emperor) before to Edo (= Tokyo) moved on efforts of the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (I'm not good watch out for my studies, my goodness, D). For
Kyoto recommend the inclined guide travelers to plan three to four days. We had exactly three hours. = D

Accordingly, fell short of our program: we visited the Kiyomizu Temple and the Temple Ginkakuji to achieve both very well with the buses that depart from the main train station in Kyoto is (for the stupid tourists all the signage, wonderful English ... we are of course still managed to get lost xD).
But first things first.

The day began as follows:
Kiwi: * not quite in full possession of their mental forces * Yeah, clearly we can take this train going to Central Station Tokyo! go get little soul and
* Kiwi * a * go * go

Kiwi: Ahhhhh, no, he is wrong, get off and turn back immediately! *
little soul and Kiwi get off * *
back drive back drive back
* Kiwi: Oh Oo ... um ... yes, so we were right, we would only have to change trains at the station in a different way ... ahem ... yes.
[eternal Rumgurken later]
We arrived yet at some point and went into this wonderful train.





We reached

fresh and rested (though we were sitting in the smoking compartment, and of course the very people sitting next to us had smoked a pack of about half an hour. Hallelujah ) and we went to the tourist office.
Where we were greeted with the most charming of the Japanese, English, I've ever heard.
"I would suggest you take this ticket because it is very convenient and economical."
AWWWWWWWwww *___* This man was so very nice and cute! Especially when the little soul and I briefly talked to us in German, he asked!
Man: Excuse me, Which language do you normally speak? We
: Ehm, German?
man, Ah, so she * points to colleague * speaks German too.
* *
woman colleague is: How can I help you? We
: O___O MY GOD YOU ARE AWESOME
(The course we have not said, but just about, we have felt so incredibly accommodating. perfect and the lady talked to us. Wow! What I've been thrilled ... \u0026lt;333).
us then said that we are not yet able to look at Nijo Castle Kinkakuji, because three hours just too little, and we recommend two other temples. From one we had but never heard and then decided to take a chance on it and go to Ginkaku-ji (not to be confused with Kinkaku-ji. Those crazy Japanese xD).
After visiting the Kiyomizu temple, went








it then proceeds to Ginkaku-ji.
















[Quote little soul: It was fucking awesome!]
[Quote Kiwi. Yes, it was]

It was really beautiful. A great garden with a wonderfully cozy little wood around it (and a gravel garden ... pebble, not feli Graves;! D), through which one could walk. Wonderful and very very romantic.

Then it was off to grab souvenirs. (Brudi, I found your sword! D) I bought a beautiful PINK fan on it with little white rabbit. There were also a store that specialized only in the sale of items with little white bunny (possibly because of the moon phase (see: here is ) Does any of you still Sailor Moon Bunny's real name: Tsukino Usagi (last name ., first name (hare of the moon) ^ ^) picked up a wonderful little soul pink curtain (very pretty) and I picked YOU A WONDERFUL SOUVENIR bright pink, FELI REJOICE gap;!! DDD There is no button ... it is much more useful. tehehe.

Well, after that we were on our way home (absolutely relaxed / IRONY). Actually, it all went well, we got an immediate Bus that we should go from Ginkaku-ji to the central station Kyoto. It went quite well.
way we met a cute woman who asked, so here is whether little soul and I speak German. And then she suddenly began to yourself, to palaver in German! Quite amazing! She said that she had learned in Osaka German (she studied music and German language have pleased her so well as she has heard at a concert that she wanted to learn. *__*) Awww, and now as Teacher of music therapy for people with disabilities working in Kyoto. Wow. It was so nice and so talented and sooo sweet. \u0026lt;333 small highlight on the trip, aww!
were then little soul and I was a little uneasy, because the departure of our train approached on and on, but we are hardly the main train station. Argh, stupid, overcrowded buses. >. \u0026lt;Until quarter six o'clock we were still calm and came as the station in sight,

we wanted to have a sigh of relief. But then came the lights, just before the station. The
about five minutes remained red.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!! PANIC! Unholy screaming AHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!
Well, then we rushed off the bus and how the idiot in the Station ... and caught our train more dazzling, albeit with some ... more violent breathing. Ahem. Yes.
Conclusion: Kyoto is really pretty. Stuffed with temples and a lot less bling bling than Tokyo and the next time you should plan might actually three to four days. ; D
morning you go back on the Harajuku Bridge and then twice in the Yoyogi Park is scheduled to depart Sunday probably always find THE FULL AKTSCHÖÖÖN what young musicians, etc. concerns. We'll see. If the weather is nice, then we draw our Lolita dress and become the prettiest women of Tokyo Yes! *___*
And here, because we are on the way back far too well off, you get all day again in a prompt to (g) summary:


Well, that's it from me. Tüdelü. (God, my whole bed varies, as I was sitting still on this train. Heaven help xD).
Treat of the day:
Today in the Shinkansen seen:




Japanese style is real ... getting used to. Whoa, you know. xD Everything has its limits. XD

Which Doctor Is Specialize In Std

Japan, Day 12

Well, just as one plans and thinks it will never, right? Actually, we wanted today as the Imperial Palace and funny pictures on Garden shoot. But of course the Friday close. -..- Stupid Kaiser. xD

Well, we still had plenty of other posts on our note, so we went first to the


The Tokyo Tower is the symbol par excellence of Tokyo, a 333m high replica of the Eiffel Tower in red, the .. . yes that is a bit out of place in the middle of the city. xDD But at least on a mountain!


can be found on the middle platform up or go to the top, but with my fear of heights I was too expensive. Beautiful photos of Tokyo, you can also make it somewhere else (see the video XDDD). But we current linearized with the different levels full of shops (pardotje, I bought a souvenir for you ^ 3 ^) and found again that the Japanese really love cake and leave cake especially with banana, tihihihi. Oh yes, little brother, swords I have seen, but unfortunately are all too big for my suitcase! Q___Q I search more, I promise!

ran After visiting the tower we continue to find a beautiful park, which should be exactly behind it. The
we also found, but it was the first to admire here:

pure kitsch views xD


And still more, even with flowers!


A Ryoukan, a traditional Japanese inn


Then it went into the little park that rather consisted of several small "gardens" that ran around the main streets and allowed a walk, which was often interrupted by cars. Very cool, somehow ...

On the way, we also found this:

Blüüüüüüten! * __ * Oh would, but only Hanami-time (this is the time when flower in Japan the cherry blossoms and about all the Japanese completely by turning XD)

That was also very funny:

As a general German cars here, probably as a special status symbol, because you only see a few on the streets and if so, the better-heeled neighborhoods. (Incidentally, is Shibakoen Shiba Park ^ ^).

Yes, we found this:

A Kofun grave (grave-mound). That was so ... AHAHAHHA XD. You have to understand that we have been tormented in the history of Asia in the first half with a video, it was explained in which, as the Japs Ollen such mound in the 3rd Century buildings or so. Whoa useless, about a million. But times quite beautiful, one-to-find. XDDD

our way then we an eternally long main road led along and because we were too lazy to walk the whole way, but we went tram xD to Sengaku-ji (Temple Sengaku).

we knew well from happier days second semester, because in Sengaku Temple, the 47 ronin are buried (on which I had to write a term paper xDD, the story is read here).
That was really ... interesting. So many graves. So many in fact useless death. Well. The faithful samurai flat (I had endless fun with this homework, ey. XD 47 men, hello? XD).


Here lies buried Kuranosuke Oishi, (I think at least I could rely only on Pinkus guide, because I read the names could not xDD), the leader of the samurai.


Well. Then we wanted to go take pictures of the Tokyo skyline, then passed out the following:


* could still die laughing * What are we as rumgeirrt, high official of this office building. Ahahaha. xD
After then, however, the 45th Floor have been found, we visited on a tip from Kim's guide through the 32nd Floor, because there should be a cheap cafeteria.
was.
However, rather only for the employees, because after we had helped a total courteous, sweet woman to choose our meals from a vending machine, sat Pinku, little soul and I suddenly between a bunch of men mit Anzügen und Krawatte. Ahahahaah, wir Touristen. xDD Wir gehörten dort eindeutig nicht hin, aber es war echt lieb, dass man uns nicht rauswarf, sondern total nett behandelte.
Ich aß ein "Mixufurai", eine Mischung aus verschiedenen frittierten Sachen (Fisch, Fleisch, Kartoffeln), siehe hier:

Für 550 Yen (etwa 4,90Euro). Wirklich tolles Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, OMG!

Nun ja, danach begaben wir uns dann nach Hause und ich muss nun echt dringend ins Bettchen, weil ich morgen mit dem Seelchen nach Kyoto will. Hui, mal sehen, ob wir das schaffen! =D

Treat des Tages :
Einige grauenhafte Aufnahmen von Tokyo bei Nacht. Tut mir Leid, that the photos are not better, but the phone's camera is really only limited capability. xDD






A 1.5 liter bottle of Calpis. OH MY GOD, I AM IN HEAVEN! *___*



KYOTO! OMG! I am really excited. xDD
