Day Three
-Arashi Yama（嵐山）
-Sky Dragon Temple?(天龍寺)
-EIKANDO ZENRIN-JI Temple

The Third Day!!! and it's my third time having instant noodles as breakfast...woke up at 6am+ that's like a 3 hours sleep so i'm feeling very energetic : D... Set out for Arashi Yama, if i'm not wrong the place is located in Kyoto...Before that, you gotta experience the morning rush of the trains, it is so hilarious watching all of them run and then jam themselves in one train, we need to squeeze with them too : D.... Right getting on to the trip, Arashi Yama is famous for a Bridge named Wade Moon Bridge(渡月橋)If i'm not wrong...When we arrive at Arashi Yama we were suppose to ride the tour train around Arashi but the queue is hilariously long so we didn't go for it but we rented bikes*cling cling* for half a day, the bikes handles are quite close to each other so you Will suddenly do an automatic turn and that really fucks people up XD...

Riding through the Streets of Arashi is quite hard actually, cars just zoom quite close to your legs, so if you peeps are heading for Arashi Yama careful ya... A few minutes later we rode our bikes to a small shrine, seems nameless or i didn't bother to find the name : o....Nothing much about the shrine actually, people just go there to pray for fortune but the walkway to the shrine is very beautiful, Bamboos all around, well to make it more simple its a Shrine in a middle of the Bamboo Grove : D... between the Bamboo Grove and the mountains is one field of graveyards, nice view actually not so scary cause its day time... Snap some pictures and headed for Sky Dragon Temple(天龍寺)...

The Temple is actually quite near to the shrine so its just a few minutes ride there... At the entrance of the temple i took pictures with some teenagers in their traditional costumes for example Yukata that the girls wear : D... When we were done with the group photos, my name was called i turned around, the japanese girls with their hand doing the come over here hand motion signaled to me, i was like "whut~?" it was my uncle who set me up, so... i can't reject a ladies offer so : D *Pictures later*... On with the trip, the garden area of the temple is decorated with many maple trees mostly red colored so its like the place is on fire or something... After a couple of hours we arrived at the exit, just before that is a nice resting spot, while we were resting i pass my camera's memory stick to my uncle so he could store the photos to a graphic player cool stuff and again another group of teenagers in traditional costume walked pass and i was "oh no~".... Pictures taken again with that bunch and like all times i'll be taking pictures with the girls XD...Left the temple and headed back to the streets for lunch...

Finding a restaurants in Japan isn't hard so we just chuck into a famous one... The best lunch i ever had, it was recommended by an AKB48 member !!! I've actually forgotten about it but it came back to me because of one of the locals said Arashi Rice, so i was hell yeah i'll take that one, the Arashi Rice is like a bowl of rice top with a hot half-cooked omelette's and a good amount of chicken meat, it sounds like oyako-don but its not... The Arashi Rice Set includes 1 Bowl of Arashi Rice, 1 Bowl of Udon and some small side dishes to add to your rice, it taste so good that i forgot to take a picture of it : (... Its worth spending 1100yen on it, so it's SGD13.00 XD...Right after lunch we headed for the Wade Moon Bridge (?_?)...XD

The Bridge leads you to road that heads for the mountains but we didn't go up we just went to the bridge to take some pictures.... Mid-way on the bridge, one whole bunch of seagulls just freaking swarm one side of the bridge, i shouted WTF like nobodies business... They were swarming because there was an old man in his 50s feeding them bread, first time ever i got so close to so many birds XD... It looks fun so i asked for some bread from the old man and he gladly gave me some, not as easy as it looks, held my hand up for awhile and it was gone! So hilarious...One lady tried to cheat them cause she wanted to take pictures up close & personal with them but the seagulls sprayed pee pee on her XD....Snap some pictures of the seagulls, river and mountain its time to head for the other temple...

The Unknown Temple!!! It has a name actually just that i don't know what its called in english but here's the romanji of it "EIKANDO ZENRIN-JI" Temple... We arrived at the temple around 5pm+ which is like how Singapore is at 7pm+, went in to take some pictures of the maple leafs in the temple garden... My aunt and her sister when inside one of the huge temples to take a look, we sat at a small resting spot near the temple and found ourselves some entertainment... beside the temple is a graveyard : D... me, my cousin and my uncle challenge each other to enter the graveyard and see who could stay inside the longest and not panic out... as it was dark and cold your imaginations will run wild you know, we all entered at once with my aunt shouting "siao ah! ni men gen wo chu lai!"(Are you guys crazy! Come out now!" because it was dark : D ... When your whole person is in the graveyard you will feel like you have entered another world of something, sounds completely cut off, spooky eh... We started to feel the chills and heard a crack in front of us, we fucking run out of the graveyard laughing, and we all lost our bet *no one won : D* and my aunt was like "ni kan la... hen hao wan shi mah?"(you see...was that even nice to play with?)... but i swear i heard a whisper beside my ear when we ran out...Snap some pictures of the whole place except the graveyard cause we ran far from it XD... Left the temple for dinner...

Coldest night ever and we some more need to walk to a subway station which is very far from the temple, bought Green Tea Ice Cream some more XD....Headed for Osaka Station for dinner...had Soba-Tempura Set Meal, you peeps know when eating soba you have a cup of soba sauce where you can mix wasabi in it right? Well, i mix the wasabi in it and stir for awhile, i dip my soba in it and take a bite and DAMN!!!! 辛い！！！(Spicy!!!) There was still a clump of un-mixed wasabi in it!!! Finish Dinner and head back to Shin-Osaka, ate instant noodles for supper while watching tv again slept at 2am+ : D....

The first batch not so nice...the women on the most right is another tourist no idea who she is
