More memories of Kyoto

I will want to return with my family for a real holiday here jika diizinkan Allah.

the map of the Imperial Palace which is open only twice

 a year to the public

so kami cuma bergambar depan batu UNESCO ni je la

(which declared the site as a world heritage)

ni kat tempat lain

some of the participants of a session at the conference

This lady is from Turkey (who later came to me to ask about my topic and 

dalam tergesa-gesa tu I forgot to bring my card.Cheh! But she took my email add)

masa yang terhad untuk topic yang besar (for all)

eating from our Japanese lunch boxes.And networking

too many fine dining jap restaurants kat mall bawah hotel kami

Ni kat Gion tempat Seiki bawak kita dinner

traditional homes turned posh dining area, Gion

colour yang menarik

orang selalu ingat Gion was once a red-light district.It was never

Seiki kata kat shrine ni lah geishas pi semayang sesudah dan sebelum kerja.

I looked up Wiki...Gion was never that kind of place and geishas are not pros

in front of Gion Uemori,the restaurant where we dined in Gion.Seiki had to book

a week early and that was the last table

waitress dia fasih ckp English

This I will never forget.Raw fish yang buat I kena keracunan makanan.Sashimi tuna and snapper, dipped in soy sauce or eaten with wasabi

On the day kebakaran berlaku (but it was not here).Ni depan

hotel kami

ah...the river in Gion as we all strolled and talked nonsense, coming 

back from dinner

you'll love this area.Damai.

takda yang bising dan mabuk

sup

tempura

At the roofed market downtown

macam-macam ada

yang mungkin boleh dimakan mentah

kerang sebesar telor ayam

downtown Kyoto is very modern and besar

masih di pasar berbumbung

jika nak beli kain ela

Japanese garden

bukan autumn pun tapi pokok ni mungkin plastik.

Hard to tell in Japan

yang ramai pakai mcm ni pelancong luar yang sewa baju Jepun.

Jangan tertipu

I'm quite sure this is pegaga but Seiki kata tak leh makan.

Bdk-bdk sekolah beli gula-gula pelbagai perisa

yang diperbuat dari tepong beras, isinya mcm2 flavour: banana,

strawberry, cokelat etc

third generation penenun sutera Jepun di Kyoto.I bought a tie for

my cik abang di rumah

makanan Jepun yang halal! (in our hotel area)

typical Japanese lunch box meal

Mak Makoto kasi..ingat ubat gegat but Seiki kata gula2

so boleh dimakan dgn selamat

where we stayed.Very convenient

Sushis sold at Kyoto Station area

one of two things I sempat beli di Isetan.Harganya da bomb

but made in Japan

byk tempat semayang mcm ni di tepi2 jalan

the selendang I liked so much.Two items dah dekat seribu ringgit Malaysia!

But made in Japan.Puas hati!
