thanks for trying, but...

I was on my way home in my dad's car when someone called the radio station for a dedication.

Now, this girl had the sweetest voice you'll ever hear, but then she uttered the darnedest thing you'll probably hear this year.

"I'd like to say hi to my sister, and wish her a belated happy birthday because it's tomorrow."

We were both bawling in laughter after that.

what do you do on a rainy and stormy night?

Quick question: Are these two mating?

thoughts on kyoto








Kyoto is a city so rich with history, that with so many temples and buildings preserved from the time of the samurais, it feels like a throwback to 15th century Japan. Until you look down and see the hordes of people with their latest digital cameras in hand, that is.

The city has so many ancient temples that it'd really be a waste of effort trying to list them down one by one. However, they are all deserving of a visit or two, which is probably the reason why many people flock to Kyoto again and again. It is simply a very pretty city, and even with the introduction of modern conveniences, is still firmly protective of its heritage.



This is not to say though, that Kyoto doesn't have its share of post-modernistic buildings as well.

However, any visitors planning to cover Kyoto on foot should be warned: this is a BIG city, in terms of size. Kyoto maps are printed such that the places of interest seem close to each other, when in fact the distance in between can easily take half an hour's walk. Bicycles should be the preferred method of getting around.
