Quick stop in kyoto

kyoto is green green green. Temples everywhere, festivals all around almost every night i was there. I am glad I was there when i was because now this damn typhoon is raining on my cabaret, old chum.

I digress, in kyoto everyone is very spiritual and usually gives great honor to there elders. Most places in japan seem to be very respectful, when your drinking at a bar. 

Ever person around this town has little tiny dogs. I guess they need to be small to fit in the apartments around here. I sat in a park taking a nap until i figured out mosquitos were eatting me alive. 

The rivers in kyoto are really shallow, i surprised any of the boats can float with the amount of people on them.

After a while we went to the monkey park, which is exactly what it seems.

Great view up there. The monkeys know not to mess with human but you can feed them in the cage hut.
they are still wild animals however.

after that i was able to see another shirne with large red gates, Very pretty like always. I hiked up the mountain to find out it was the second sacred mountain. That mountain, plus fuji mean there only one more sacred mountain to go.

Unfortunately i didn't really have enough time to do much else in the days i was there but durring a festival i got a date with a local girl, so ill be back in kyoto for at least a day. It only a hour on the sub to get there. 

Kyoto boat festival, which mean grilled meat and beer everywhere. (Fun fact: you can drink on the streets and subway in japan)

Osaka is getto but i love it. 2 weeks in osaka only cost me $210 usd and i have a private room. Now i dont have to lug my heavy shit around. Heading to the aquarium today. Sound like the only good time i can have in a storm. I will see Hiroshima and kyoto again. The Israel guy i met sense day 1 want to go to suicide forest but that one thing i am going to try to avoid....
