Day 07 – Kyoto City (13/12/2005)
It was a cold day again. The temperature was around 6 degree Celcius to 2 degree Celcius. After that, we had breakfast and headed to the train station to Kyoto city. We visited the Toji temple and had some green tea ice cream. My lips and hands were numb! After that, we went to a souvenir shop and had lunch there. My friend bought some kimonos... a bought one too actually.. a dark green and white one. And then we tried tea ceremony at one of the elder’s house. Let me tell u sometihng bout it~ hehe.. before drinking the tea, we're supposed to eat some sweet rice cake to sweetened ur mouth cause the tes is terribly bitter. Before drinking, we turned the cup till the drawing on it faces others. After that, we drink two times and the third time we're ought to finish the tea. We tried playing the KOTO too. We got to enjoy them singing their national anthem. after that, we went shopping again in Kyoto coop to buysome dry goods. we had shabu-shabu for dinner. As it was the 2nd last day, we exchanged souvenirs.
