SCHLAULAU TRAVELOGUE - KYOTO, JAPAN. February 2001
 
 

Kyoto, Japan.
Feb. 2001

During the month of February I had the chance to visit Japan with my brother Philip. It was a holiday simply to get away from all the worries in the past few months, as well as a chance to see each other after two years apart.

The passing of our mother made me want to weave a better web amongst us brothers, Philip, Kevin, and I, simply because the original bond, my mother, isn't here anymore.

I am sure mom would want us to stick together, through good and bad times as well.

During this trip, Philip and I travelled through Kyoto, Osaka, Shusenji (in Izu), and Tokyo. These are the pictures that descible our fun times during this two-week trip.

Next morning... we have decided to tour the famous temple, Kingaku-Ji, the Golden-Corridor-Temple. Yes the entire structure is covered in gold foils... The famous Japanese author Mishima Yukio even wrote a book about it...
Philip the sleepy-head always wake up at 10 instead of the agreed upon time of 8am...
The red gate that represents all Japanese shrines, in front of the bus stop...
Checking the bus schedule...

This was my first time riding a bus in Japan... everyone's trying to figure out exactly how far away the temple is...

After the 20 minute bus ride, we finally arrived...
I wonder if they put it in the middle of this man-made lake to prevent people from scraping the gold off the building...?
