Higashiyama

The correct destination was reached :-) and I started by Nanzen-in

A short walk is Eikan-dô but I saw lots of photography forbidden signs and afraid of increasing mistakes list that I took only outside pictures :-)

Also close to them is Tetsugaku-no-Michi or path of philosophy that can be done in about 30 minutes in which I haven't got any good idea but lots of bad ones :-)

After walking almost all day long I took a bus to rest at hotel but the traffic was/is heavy so when I heard that there is a connection with subway on the next stop, I got off fortunately close to Gion

and I assure the picture above was taken before the Asahi :-)

and it can be proved by the light reflected on the table

Mistakes

With  another guide's help, but she's so cold :-(, I started making a mistake and reached Nishiki market then as I was there I walked around to take a look

As a matter of fact I wasn't sure if all are food so for safety reason my choice was sushi :-)

and on the way I saw some gloves and decided to buy one pair so the next time I shake my friend'
s hand she won't think I'm a cold guy :-)



But by using my best nihongo I found out that they are to be used on feet :-( one more mistake on the endless list

How can I go on....

.... without a personal tourist guide at Kyoto ?  this  question was made to me before in portuguese and any translation mistake is my guilty :-)

I started the journey :-) by taking a sightseeing bus (who has no dog...  hunting with cat, it is a brazilian popular saying) but the guide wasn't a sightspeaking and all I heard was japanese... I miss my personal tourist guide :-(

Anyway I could visit Kinkaku-ji or golden pavilion


and also Kiyomizu-dera



Kyo-wa su-ko-shi mu-zu-ka-shi ka-ta or today was a little difficult in japanese, of course :-)

Get Tired !!! or Kansai !!!

It's another terrible phonetic translation in my native language for this region (Kansai) :-)

The base point choosen is Kyoto and close to the train station

And if weather helps a view from the Kyoto tower in any sooner day. For a while some rest is necessary :-)

Kanpai

As I wrote before not so lost in translation because kanpai means cheers in japanese and not banzai as this fool japanese's son imagined before :-)

Anyway, tonight I celebrated my first last night in Tokyo by drinking sake with my personal tourist guide in Tokyo.

Kanpai !!! :-)
