Japan Trip, Day 5, 18th November

Well, I went to Osaka Aquarium on Day 5... Boy, it's one ridiculously large place as it is an 8-floor building completely dedicated to marine life!









Just one question... What's a monkey doing in an aquarium?!


NOTE: I'll post more maybe tomorrow or later on... Right now, I've been staring into a computer screen for the past 4 hours thanks to my slow upload speed.

Japan Trip, Day 4, 17th November

Well, I went to Kyoto. All I can say is "Walou..." Japan has too many shrines. Being a Christian, going to such shrines isn't exactly very interesting to me. I mean I visited like 2 shrines in the same day...

Enough said, pictures...


The highway... to Arashiyama... (Yama = "mountain" in Japanese; Arashiyama = Arashi Mountain)
----------
At Arashiyama... (The scenery there is superb man!)



Mode of transportation in Arashiyama... Rickshaws!


More Arashiyama related stuff...

----------
Kiyomizu Temple... (Another temple -.-)


Beautiful Scenery though...


Love Stone... -.-


Japanese money god... (Boy, he's kinda fat...)


Water that brings one good health, fortune, and stuff like that... There were like millions of people queuing up just to drink from it... -.-
----------
Fushimi inari taisha (go wiki that on your own... it's famous for it's multiple Torii gates...)



Train coming...


and some random pet dog...

-----------
Kyoto Station...


Underground shopping centre?! (I had dinner there.)


Tempura Dinner... =D

Nah, this was just the display. My dinner was more pathetic, sadly =(
I had only 1 prawn, 1 fish, 1 potato, 1 brinjal and 1 vegetable which I can't recall...


Kyoto Tower! and its reflection in the Kyoto Station building, and a Giant Christmas Tree inside Kyoto Station...
----------

More Temples... I was heading for Gion's corner...


Some random building...


Mochi! It's very tasty and sweet! (Mochi = Riceballs)

At Gion's Corner... What, no pictures?! I saw 2 geishas, tried to take pictures of them but they were walking too fast... too fast, too furious... OK, no link...
