mangutanes Continuing on the tour 2005 here I present the second day.
Like any self-respecting tour, also has its merchandising. Here is Jorgina presenting the jersey before leaving for the city protocol .
After an hour's train ride and jet lag in travelers taking its toll, we reached the great Kyoto station. The station was inaugurated in 1997 to commemorate the 1200 anniversary of the city and its building is only surpassed by the Nagoya station. Comment that the city was capital of the Empire over a thousand years until the late nineteenth century, this honor will go to the city of Tokyo. Kyoto is known to treat foreigners very well unlike the rest of the Japanese. For some of the Japanese I've talked to the people of this city has "gone to his head" the fact of having been the capital of the empire for so long and the fact that cambio de capital sea relativamente reciente, al menos en cuanto a la historia del Japón se refiere, todavía les afecta.
Después de la pelea por decidir el lugar al que ir a continuación, nos decidimos por ir al templo Kinkaku (Kinkakuji) o pabellón de oro. En la misma estación se puede comprar un bono de autobús para todo el día. Con sólo tres autobuses que tomes ya te sale rentable con lo que después de comprarlo nos dirigimos allí. Como si de la ley de Murphy se tratara, de dos caminos para llegar, escogimos el peor. Muuucho tiempo en el autobús y Jorgín we were sleeping ... Who is Espinete ?
Anyway, come, we, and yes it's worth seeing this wonder.
Del say that the original temple was built in the XIV century, but what we see today is a reconstruction of mid-twentieth century. As I said on another occasion is actually covered with a thin layer of gold. Besides the temple, the garden is also beautiful in their environment including this small waterfall.
After the time spent to reach the temple and we spent within its walls was already lunchtime, so we ate somewhere nearby. For those who were left wanting to watch with your domain Aguilera sticks here I put an extraordinary eating ramen .
But the love ...
Once the food and the teasing between mangutanes we went to another of the most beautiful city of Kyoto. The temple flag Gingaku or silver. This temple is covered with silver as one might assume as the shogun that sent him building was left without funds. Have gardens in your surroundings that is the nicest thing I've seen since I came to Japan.
But good vibes brother. Despite jet lag and we got kicked, the crouching Agui looking the picture ... He failed in front but had a hidden camera behind.
flowers and critters always present.
Never had a picture of the typical Japanese bath but since some of the other mangutanes I take their pictures made. Belong to this temple and baths do you surprise someone who needed the manual?
Once finished this visit we went to the Gion district. Like almost everywhere in Kyoto here we find another temple. This neighborhood is characterized as the old quarter of the geishas and teahouses. Barrels you see in the second photo is of Sake and belong to the temple. As the monks going to get!
And we do not see the kicked away more than a geisha, which is quite difficult indeed.
These two pictures tell enough of what was the journey. In the first "the girl" Arinero always escaped towards the stage victory "? Jorgina behind and the second "phone man" Nacho imitating the figures we found our way. We must highlight the "man guide "on our trip because without him we would not have seen even half of the interesting things we saw and almost as important to me, I had to bother to organize visits.
After a Kyoto hours we returned to the station at the ideal time to watch the sun The second picture I have of the screen, enough said ...
This is the communications tower Kyoto which is directly opposite the station.
And of course, moving to the station we headed back to Tenri.
While doing the transfer in Nara, I met a college professor who also turned to Tenri. This man is a professor of English but speaks some English and I love Spain, so when I introduced him to the mangutanes was so delighted that he invited us to dinner. Here, when an older person invites you to a conclusion is quite rude not to accept what he proposes and how well it was very interesting but of course, accept. We had the bad luck that it rained and it was late so we did not find a place to taste the teacher. With this, the man in some way, apologized for not carry out the proposal and as I shook hands I noticed a paper. Ten thousand yen! "Here, to invite your friends." This is the first time a Japanese gives me a tip! Just as one must accept an invitation, you must also accept this gift so after a timid "But, please," I accepted the money. Do you understand now the photo of the japanese Arinete grabbing the Puu? That's where we ended up having dinner and taking us a copichuelas to the health of the Japanese so nice and so fond of Spain.
