Culturally speaking, I believe Kyoto stores something more compared to Tokyo. I kind of feel saturated with Tokyo's shopping attitude so Kyoto seems like a breath of fresh air. Clearly, they put more efforts in keeping traditions here and I just couldn't take my sight away from those bikes. My eyes cycle around bikes, I think. If I could I want to spend more times in Kyoto, but we went back to Tokyo on the same day. Ah see those kids going back home from school? I wished I don't have to go back to school these days hahaha. Nah, just kidding. I love school, just not the workloads. Haha. Have a nice weekend people!
We took the Shinkansen to go to Kyoto, it wasn't as fast as I thought it would be though, hehe. But it was okay I think. So we went as fast as bullet speed straightly to Kyoto, it took about two good sleeping hours. Let me tell you it was really hot in Kyoto, we heard people said so and it's true. Maybe it's because it's sitting in between mountains ( I should have some understandings in this kind of thing since I was learning Geography in high school but I didn't get it why now, really, I tend to forget everything haha). It's the shrine I was telling you about before, the place near the Inari shop. It was all red, lots of red gates.
Taste of Melbourne was great, can't help ourselves to not eat everything. Heaps of Melbourne's best restaurant were there showcasing their idealistic - sometimes inventive but not so intuitive - foods. But yes that's what we enjoyed, culinary experience darling!Pistachio 'panna cota' with caramel salted popcorn from Sarti.Oh my gosh those lovely Pat and Stick's ice cream sandwich. We had a try of The Palace's eye fillet, potato mash with sauce Bordelaise, and their wagyu burger as well; cured Marlborough king salmon, sweet corn, chorizo and kipfler potato from Gordon Ramsay's Maze; Stokehouse's The Bombe, which is a white chocolate parfait with strawberry sorbet and toasted meringue. And of course lots of free nibbles (that's what we're looking for!)from Ben and Jerry's, Tuaca, King Island Dairy, Sisko Chocolate, and plenty other generous stalls. The best out of them got to be the eye fillet. And I tried this wonderful delicate belgian chocolate brownies from Dello Mano.
