Kyoto again and Another Single Life
It's another trip to Kyoto again on Saturday with Sakoto. My third time already but it always gives me something great feeling about Kyoto. This time, we visited other places including to Golden Pavilion which I always wanted to go there.
We departed from 11am, taking the express train to Kawaramachi station. Then, had Japanese-style lunch at Takashimaya, continued with taking 20 minutes bus to Golden Pavilion. It's really beautiful and the top two parts of that pavilion were made from gold. Surrounded by water and natural plants, including sakura, makes this pavilion so terrific.
Later, we went to Hirajinjya and Temanggu (Japanese temples) and the last one was Nijijyo. Actually, Nijijyo was famous for its various kinds of sakura but we were too late because almost all of the sakura had gone. At least I was able to see one kind of sakura which I have never seen both in Tokyo or Osaka before. We did lots of walking ( does 4 hours sound alot?) and I was deadly tired back at home. Hah!
I have started to live alone since this weekend. Still, not something that I am used to, so most of the time I tried to get out from home and coming late in the evening, and then ate dinner and watched television. It's a single life. I guess that when you're all by yourself, you miss your family and friends most. Last night, I wish I could be in Jakarta, really. It's not that I don't have friends ( I still make regular contacts with Ken, Sakoto, Hideki and Kaorun) and don't want to go out and make more friends, but I guess those times have gone, I would do so when i was younger. This probably makes me sound so old, huh? At least, now I am starting to make plans for future.
