Rolling with laughter

Because the sauce of the dish was too good, so we wanted to add some rice to the dish. The restaurant is shorthanded, so my dad brought over the dish to the kitchen in order to add some rice. Don't know how, my dad brought back a plate of rice but without the dish.

The waiter came out from the back of the restaurant looking innocent. Then my dad asked about the dish. The waiter was actually went to throw away the dish! As we already added the rice, so we got no choice but to eat. FYI, we already had 2 big bowls of rice.

And then, there came another dish, the sauce was good too. So my dad called upon the same waiter, asked him to add some rice to the dish instead of throwing it away. Emphasised it this time round.

Soon enough, the waiter reappeared, with the dish on his hand, but the rice... we thought he will add just a little rice, in the middle of the dish. Who knows - he went to fill up the entire dish (the plate that fill the dish looked like a fish). When we saw that, we all rolled with laughter. Then we said maybe he was trying to compensate us with the mistake he had done a moment ago.

You see how full he filled the plate with the rice.

Hahahaha!

Such a cute fella.

It has been a long time since I laughed so hard, so genuinely. It feels good. ♡

- 2014: Japan Trip Final Part -

As usual, I'll let the photos speak.

Toji Temple 東寺

We went to the flea market that held on every 21st of the month at Toji Temple.

Ceramics arts.

These were made of woods.

Colourful beads.

Vintage accessories.

These cats are adorable!

These were made from the seedpod of the lotus.

The dragonflies were meticulously crafted.

Train station.

The train was never late!

You may Google search for the flea markets available in Japan.

Arashiyama 嵐山

The weather was so good! And this was my favourite place of all, with clear sky and greenery everywhere.

Croquette (コロッケ)

It was finger-licking good.

Gosh, I missed the taste of it.

My travel companions. :)

Candid shot.

We met a weird uncle here.

The weather is cooling despite the bright sun, but I'm the only one wearing shorts.

So that uncle kept nagging me for wearing shorts, bla bla bla...

The garden, simply magnificent. Though we need to pay entrance fee to get in.

Wasn't in a good mood. :(

Stairs that led to nowhere.

Takebayashi = bamboo forest.

We found this hidden spot at the top of the hill.

Kyoto Underground Mall

We were starving after spent 1 whole day in Arashiyama.

We ordered okonomiyaki & yakisoba.

Realised we were all small eater, or maybe the portion was big.

We went to buy postcards and wrote messages when we back to hostel. 

 The hostel that we stayed in. - Piece Hostel.

Cozy place!

Kiyomizudera 清水寺

I like this shot! :D

We didn't get to walk on the street that was nearby Kiyomizudera. There were throngs of tourists & students. It was such a good weather to have field trip!

Gion

 These things play music.

An old camera being made into a clock!

This girl, said she doesn't take tourist-kind of photo. =_=

 We were so lucky to get a glimpse of geisha!

Sulky face. 

Sensei's house @ Izumisano

Last breakfast before we left.

Prepared by sensei.

Home

The above were the things I bought from Japan. I like the watch, didn't do the currency translation when I purchased it. I only start calculated how much I had spent when I went back to hostel that night. The watch was expensive! But I guess it's okay, because it is one and only. :D

p/s: I missed Japan already. :(
Hope to be there again next year, 2016. I'll grant my own wish. :)
