Japan (Kyoto & Osaka) Trip Nov 09 - Day 3

Just another great day to kick start Day 3! :D

It has been another busy day, waking up and found out that there is an escalation from the US that need to be resolved. (Luckily Roger is covering during US prime time while Herb is OOO) and he manage to come out with a good work around before a root caused could be identified. So, the half day is pretty much resolving and updating the required changes to the files and send the communication out to the team.

More photos after the jump... :)

Introducing 小慧 - Our Trip Planner. :)

A lot of bicycle outside the K's House

On top of that, also found that there is a dead mice in my store room. (Yes you could smell it when he is dead - you know what I mean). Most of the items in the store have been removed and finally we manage to find where it is located. (It is a small poor mice and hopefully none will come into the house anymore... - praying hard).

The Kyoto Station

A group of students who are having their day trip - Cheers!

Our transport! - The train. :D

Anyway, I am back on track with my Japan trip photos again... :"P (After a series of travel and small project that I have on hand during my trip). Seriously, I think I have forgotten where I have been during the Japan trip.:"P Actually, come to think about it, I think I just don't know the name of the location (I am bad in remembering name, I guess I just keep snapping photos until I didn't paying attention to the name of the location where I have been to). So, in order to complete this post, again, I have visited ML FB photo album for information. :"P (Thanks to you again ML).

Resting and drawing beside the river. :)

The Coordinator

The Autumn Festival

Some view here

You will some boats beside the river. :)

So for Day 3, we went to Arashiyama. is a mountain with pretty neat view. While we are there, we are lucky enough to come across their autumn festival, where they will doing some performance on the boat and sail along the river. You will noticed that there are a lot and a lot of photographer with super long lens sitting at the shore shooting the event. (I guess it should be something big for them which attracts so many people there) :)

Approaching GREAT VIEW

A guest book

The books that telling the difference of the town

After that, we went to the "Great View", where pretty much you will need to climb like may be 20-30 minutes of mountain routes to reach there. at that area, there will be a huts letting the visitors to do some praying as well as resting. You will find that there is a lot of ornaments in the hut, stating the history of that area. You could feel the antique-ness of the hut, as well as the history of it when you rest in it.

Tenryuji

Again, fascinated by the shadow. :"D

Is Autumn...

Yes HUGH bamboo field.

LB in the bamboo field. :D

After the "Great View" we went for a quick lunch and then, went to the Tenryuji - one of the UNESCO heritage site in that area. You will reach a bamboo fields... after the Tenryuji. It is a HUGH bamboo fields, tones of super tall bamboos in it. :"P (and you are pretty much shaded there with all the tall bamboo surrounding you. :)

I like the blue sky here... lovely. :)

We also stopped by at the Nonomiya Shrine (after your cross the famous railway track) where you will noticed that there are a lot of small stalls selling their products and people performing their praying in the shrine.
