Kyoto in snow

It was a so lucky day to see snowing:) Hope I can see Kyoto in snow before I move back to Osaka. There is no chance to see snow there.

こないだ雪がすごい降って感激した。引っ越す前にもっかい見れたらいいな。

京都御所

These photos are from my stroll in last month..... I miss that sunny and warm days already.
It's crazy cold every day.  My body has gone frozen while just waiting for a bus for a minute. Coffee has gone cold in a few minutes. How can I survive till next Spring? It was raining today as well...... Actually I don't like winter so much and prefer summer. Hot coffee, knit, oranges, Christmas....... I like these things but ... but.....!! Wish I could live in a summer country like Singapore, Thailand...etc

この写真のころが懐かしい。京都の寒さ鬼畜レベル。バス待ってる１分とかのあいだにも体が凍てつくし、コーヒーも一瞬で冷める。今日なんか雨降ってたし。
冬あんま好きちゃうしな。断然夏や。コーヒーとかみかんもクリスマスも好きやけど画像とかで良いわ。生まれ変わったらシンガポールとかタイに生まれたい。

貴船と鞍馬

These weeks are really nice to enjoy nature. All leaves has been turned to orange or yellow.
Walking around Kifune and Kurama area was so nice. Huge crowds were there though.

ここのところ紅葉がすごくて京都が本当にキレイ。
貴船と鞍馬もめっちゃうつくしかった。混んでたけど

By the way, I watched The Wind Rises by Ghibli Studio. It describes how poor Japan was and how hard to live there before the second war.There is no hope in this story. Jiro and Naoko goes into unhappy. But their story is really beautiful and I couldn't stop crying:(

最近やっと風立ちぬ観たけど救いなさ過ぎてびびった。１回目観たときはよくわからんかったけど２回目３回目どんどん良くなってくる系やった。

October memories

Still I cannot believe it's already November. Leaves are turning to red or yellow Kyoto city is filled with so many tourists!! They come here to see leaves and feel autumn. So pleasure many people enjoy Kyoto but we have many trouble with traffic. Buses don't arrive on the time. Big groups block a street.......etc haha
And all stores, cafes, and restaurants are crowded on weekends. I'm a little sad I can't stay long in my favorite cafes:(

Anyway I'm so lucky to live in Kyoto, except the traffic.  This city has so many places to see.


もう１１月か…いつの間にか紅葉がはじまり、観光客がわんさか来てる…修学旅行生も…
バス来ないわ、来ても乗れないわ、道という道は人でごった返してるわでもうどうやって移動したらよいか分かりません。急に道で立ち止まって自撮りしはじめるスイーツとか。なぜかファミマで文房具を買いあさるアメリカ人グループ。男子女子グループどうしでよくわからない距離感を保ちつつもお互いに干渉し合いながら歩行する修学旅行生などなどストレスマッハ。まあええんやけどな…京都から観光とったらただのド三流地方都市やし。

文句も多いけどやっぱり住んでると楽しい街やな。ここにしかないものいっぱいあるし。

竹田城と姫路城 / Takeda catsle and Himeji castle

We went to Asago city to see 雲海 which means sea of clouds literally. Takeda castle in Asago city is one of places where we can see sea clouds in Japan.
I woke up a.m. 3 because sea of clouds can be seen in the early morning. However, there was no clouds!!!! I knew it depends on weather....but....but....!!!! OK. It was just unlucky:<

雲海を見るために朝来市の竹田城跡に行ってきたけど…見れんかた…！！！！快晴！！！！
３時に起きたのになー　がんばって登ったのになー　天気によるからしゃーないねんけど…はあ

After that disappointment, we still had much time of course. Then heading to Himeji city to see Himeji castle which is said the most beautiful castle in Japan. HOWEVER it was under construction:< I tried hard to take a beautiful picture. I couldn't enter the main part of the castle.
After this second disappointment, we went back home........hahaha

もちろん時間はありあまるのでそのまま南下して姫路城へ。あっこまだ工事やってんねんな…ずっと工事してない?鹿島さん…？本丸に入れず帰ってきたんやけど…？
