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.

Hiro slam-dunking the temple...
Philip said that he's never taken so many pictures in any trip in his life... digital camera rules - imagine processing so many pictures after the trip, and finding out how my stupid hands has ruined 80% of the shots...
Such as this shot - I am sure no one else but me can understand why I even bother taking it... but having my CoolPix in hand, I can just snap away, knowing that with my 64MB card, I can probably take another 200 more... hehe.
Souvenir time - Philip and Jamie buying stuff for all their colleagues back home...
All done - the bus ride back ... to the next shrine, Ryuan-Ji.
Thisy a Zen Buddhist shrine, where people go to meditate and open their "mind's eye"...
The famous Zen rock garden... where people sit in groups for hours, just waiting for it to bring forth enlightenment...

I rather stay home and watch "Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger" on DVD...
