Exactly One Year Ago Today - Day 2

It was my first time spending the night in an old-style Japanese house. Granny's house originally has no upper floor. She had a renovation a while back. The room was really cold. I shared my room with Junko and Chong kun. I had FOUR futons on me and I was still cold. Woke up exactly at noon. Guess them beers and sake really did help me to sleep at ease. The stairs was really narrow. I hoped Granny din suddenly appear before me and get a freakin heart attack. Why? Cos I have a very long waist-line purple (then) hair. I could really pass off as the creature from Ju-On... really. Part 1 or 2 watever.

We were supposedly to tour around Kyoto the whole day but we could only visit the infamous Kinkakuji a.k.a. "The Golden Pavillion". It was truly astounding. If I'm not mistaken, the highest floor is made of gold. The floor below it is mixed with gold and wooden material. The base is made mainly out of wood. It used to be a summer palace to some dude but as the time passed on, it is respected as a temple. Or so I think... I think Chong kun got balls of steel some times. It was really cold but this dude was standing out there happily eating an ice-cream!

Then we went window shopping at Kawaramachi and I was in heaven. Every where I looked, there it was... a lingerie shop. Yes, I have another obsession. The designs in Japan were very trendy and adorable yet somewat sexy. Think anime. The price was reasonable too. More affordable than some crazy ass ones back home. Their size was different and I was rather skeptical on my delivery of the Jap language. When the sales assistants realised I'm not local. They literally avioded me. Until I managed to work up wholotta courage and nervously spoke in my broken Jap. They were glad I tried to make an effort and FINALLY assisted me. Bought a pink and white checkered set. Ooohh....
