set off to 嵐山 with kyo-san at ard 12 30pm today~ we took stg like tram for abt 10mins~ not too far from our place actually...think i'll go back again~

definitely will bring my parents there if they're visiting! strongly recommend!!



嵐山 is a very beautiful place! good view but bit colder....here's one of the tourist attraction 渡月桥~

love the view there~~ a must go place in kyoto!!
















we had a walk ard n found this 法轮寺~ a very small temple but with nice view as well~

the flower below is actually made of paper!!~  view from the temple~ u can see the whole kyoto (mainly)

                                                                                                 

kyo-san treated me this meat bun~ feel so good to have stg hot at this cold weather! n we saw this while eating...日中不再战！no more wars between japan n china? 

anyway, a meat bun is not enough for us, we still need more energy to continue our journey so we decided to have lunch~ we went to 平の屋 (recommended from kyo-san guide book)~ 

kyo-san had 高雄 1300yen (left) - is a tofu dish with 5 different kind of cooking style and  i had 田楽そば 1000yen(right). Tofu 料理 is quite famous in kyoto but kind of expensive as well, the one we had is consider as cheap....but the taste is still 一番！XD

After lunch, we went to 天龍寺！The must go place at 嵐山!! The tix is 600yen (including the garden)...but totally worth it! the view inside is just incredible!! 

now is the time for the bamboo forest!!! is so cooool!!!! the panda will love this place lol!!! 

i bought some souvenirs b4 we left~ is all food though lol! they all look so goood i cannot help it lol! we left 嵐山at ard 5pm something as we need to go to raphael's place for dinner....and i need to do my laundry >< me n kyo-san missed our stop on the way back n we need to pay another 200yen to go back = ='' arghhhh!! wasted 200yen for some stupid mistake!!!! ><

anyway, we reached raphael's place at ard 7pm and we're having hotpot!! they bought everything so me n kyo-san just go n eat haha! met 2 new friends from china~ had a good chat with them tonight~ 

 one of them cooked red bean soup (dessert)~ taste great, it reminds me of my mother lol! she loves cooking red bean soup as well~

me and kyo-san get to meet raphael's new housemates when were leaving....both from china (1 teacher 1 student)~ reached home bit early today which is good as we have another long day coming tmr! Riding again tmr!!! I hope it will help me to lose some weight lol!
