Beautiful places, too bad I missed most of the old parts.
When I was there I got plenty of the box-like concrete buildings and straight streets. Kyoto looked totally like the cities in those Godzilla movies…
I wasn’t looking in the right places, that’s for sure. Only towards the end of the trip did I discover the more interesting parts – a castle and some palaces.
Of course, I visited the Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Pavilion), but the modern parts of the city felt terribly boring.
I rushed through here just long enough to see the pretty bit, really, and missed the modern side. Well worth another trip with a better camera and more developed eye for photography – this was like 2010 or something.
wow! amazing picts and amazing experiences! 🙂
Thanks, it was a fun city for sure! Anything cool going on in Makassar lately?

Ha! Perhaps you picked the wrong neighborhoods to explore?
