I got up early early to see Nijo Castle. The famous castle with the nightingale floors. The inside is so dramatic; gold, gold, gold. But i wasent allowed to take pics. The Shogun had a nice house thats for shure!
Then i went to see Chion-in, But it was being restored when i was there. so it was awfull :P
on my way to Kodai-ji
I dropped small piece of my lunch on the floor for the ants. I think their so smart, im impressed lol
Kodai-ji was magic!
Tourist dressed up as maiko
Gion
Maiko in Goin. I've always been interested in the old Geisha culture, i was a little disapointed. Not by the geiko and the maiko, i dident get to a preformance. and they did look breatyfull on the streets. But people are so rude to the geisha's tourists flashing their camera's right in their face. not asking for pictures but just running up to them. Its oke to take pictures i think, but holding your camera half a meter from their faces, using flash, not asking is just rude. I wouldent be albe to stand that!! Being jumped by rude tourists every day. They must feel like an attraction. When i asked a maiko she stopped and posed for me. But stupid me made a blurry picture (argh!)
Last few night shots
