Mystic Kyoto
 

Spent a wondrously magic weekend in the city of a thousand temples. Thankfully spared the destruction that other Japanese cities suffered in WWII it is a cultural gem. My gallery is here:

わ～！！あなたの写真集はめっちゃすばらしい！僕は日本に全然行ったことがないだけど、よく京都を聞くですよ。京都は日本で一番伝統的な歴史的な街の一つということを習った。

将来、京都に行けるといいんだけど。ところが、殆どの日本人の友達は北海道と東京に住んでいる。

じゃ、誰か東京から京都まで切符の物価を分かるの？

thanks for the great replies...here's a few teasers
