*fourfeetnine*

Or Shijo Dori wtf.

I dragged #addiction there cos I die die had to go visit my old school while we were in Kyoto.

It was like going through a time machine and appearing back there five years ago. Has it been five years already T_____T

Angela do you remember this!!! メッチャメッチャなt種かしかったよ I used to go down these stairs everyday to get to school :3

Again I’m terrified of Kyoto weather so I wore like a billion articles of clothing.  But Cheesie damn hero lo wear thigh high socks only some more her socks kept dropping and going into her boots so she was essentially barelegged hahahaha.

The first day I tried Mode makeup haha.

Waiting for subway.

Upon stepping out of the subway station, this is the first view of university!

For those who are asking, I did an exchange program in Doshisha University Imadegawa campus for a year.  Although now I realize with a shock that the sign says Doshisha Middle School WTF.  #inglip

The view right after entering the main gate. So many memories here! I remember walking in here our first day for orientation and feeling disoriented wtf cos everything was different and new like going to Standard 1 wtf.

Block Meitokukan! Where we had most of our classes.

Cafeteria!  Everything is damn cheap cos I think it is partially subsidized.  Like tofu is 50 yen or something ridiculous like that.

We snuck in so I can eat there one more time and Cheesie can pretend be student hahaha

Then I realized that last time I had my student ID so I could buy food for very cheap.  So I had to hesitantly approach the cashier and tell her we’re not actually students we just wanted to eat there and she said can! Just don’t get student discount but still very cheap anyway.

Ticket for chicken katsu curry.  Have to buy the ticket and go to the counter to pick it up.

Ocha!  Me and Angela used to have this system cos we both wanted warm tea but it was either too cold or too hot.  So we’d both have a cup and I’d fill half of mine with hot and she with cold then we’d efficiently switch and fill the other so we’d get 2 cups of warm tea.

Ok la now when I explain it sounds quite lame and nothing to be excited about but we had style and finesse when we did that ok hahahaah.

Ordered alot of food cos it was cheap -_- Quite yummy also!

Trey (one of the angry white men who went with us to Kyoto) used to eat 2 large bowls of udon every day for lunch and finish with an onigiri his host mother packed for him -_-

School convenience store.

Corridor.  Remember loitering around here when it got too cold to stand outside Meitokukan.

Old classroom!  Wanted to go in but it was locked  When we went it was still New Year’s and school hadn’t started yet.

Can’t believe it’s been five years ZOMG.

Sign explaining that the Imadegawa campus used to be a clan site.  Took this for the history geeks! (ie myself wtf)

Then we left campus and went to walk around Kyoto.

Kyoto river.

Us!

Sights from Kyoto.

On the way up to Kiyomizu.

Yasaka Jinja (where we did the kimono shoot)

Saw other girls in kimono on their way to pray!

During New Year’s, most Japanese make a pilgrimage to temples and shrines to pray for the new year.

GEISHA!!!!

Fuck being a blogger being a geiko is where it’s at.

Climbed all the way up to Kiyomizu.

Made it!  Glare from sun giving us squinty twin faces.

Bloody gorgeous lo.

Washing hands before you get to go in.

The view of Kyoto  from Kiyomizu.

The view of me in a taxi WTF.

Went back to Osaka for dinner and to meet these two!

The four of us make up Team Gesu wtf.

Sushi for dinner.

Don’t remember what this is anymore but grossest sushi ever. Puked a bit in my mouth when I ate it much to everyone’s amusement T_T Cheesie happily gobbled it though her taste is damn varied.  And she says my taste is damn cheap T_T

Cutest tamago sushi ever hahahaha.

Yuta helped me carry my fukubukuro from Hello Kitty!  We laugh laugh laugh cos he looks damn sketchy hahaah but actually it’s quite a gentlemanly thing to do lo!  Carry pink bag for a friend, not many guys would do that.

My homeland wtf.

Ok going to get ready for Nuffnang’s 5th birthday party!
