Japan Diaries 2016, KYOTO Day 1: Tatami Experience, Kiyumizu Dera, Gion & Geishas

Hello, again! Here's another installment from my Japan Diaries. So excited to share with you our brief yet sweet & extremely memorable stay in Kyoto or Old Japan.I think it's my favorite among the 3 places we've been in. This place is filled with traditional wooden houses, magnificent gardens, quiet temples, secret passageways, & beautiful geishas. In Sarah & Ana's words, the whole place is something straight from a Murakami novel. It has so much life, rich in history and brimming with beauty. :) Without further ado, here are photos and stories from our 3rd day in Japan & our 1st night & day in Kyoto. Let's go?  

Solstice in Fuji

As some of you know, my other spare Dell laptop died AGAIN. Mich officially crowned me the DELL destroyer! It's hardrive suddenly stopped working, out of nowhere. OMG WTF FML. Lahat na ng acronyms gow. Kaloka na ha. I lost some important files and photos again!!! I have 4 sets of unposted outfit shots, our Hongkong pics, our Carlos Celdran Intramuros tour (this broke my heart the most!) and many more. Hay. But I can't bring it back, can I? Got over my misery after 10 minutes of whining. Now I'm using my original laptop (had no choice but to have it repaired, no more spare laptops na!) and I wish and pray (sprayan pa ng pixie dust) that it lives kahit for 1 year lang pls. Lol. 

Anyway, here's a quick post! Lost all my BTS photos for this so I'm sharing the final photos instead. This was shot last week lang! Thanks to my Manila Bulletin fam for publishing this agad:)
