Kibune to Kurama Walk & Gion
Today, Gaik (my new Malaysian walking buddy) and I took on Mt Kurama starting at Kibune and finishing at Kurama. We then decided to walk around Gion to see if we could spot any Geisha...
Kamigamo Tezukuri-ichi Market, Ramen Sen No Kaze & PONTOCHO
Today was the 4th Sunday of the month, so I travelled by bus to the Kamigamo Tezukuri-ichi Market. By the time I got there the bus was packed and the bus driver had to turn people away at many of the stops …they were all heading to the market, so I thought to myself this has to be a good market.
