Today Ida and I were to meet up with the others so we could go shopping in downtown Kyoto and we did. I bought CDs and some dramas I had basically forgotten, but which I was thrilled to see, as well as I lamented the fact that I stumpled upon a nyanko-sensei-plushie, but he had to be won. Damn your manekineko-shell Madara! cama In town we also ate pizza, saw pretty boys and an adorable boy crouched in front of a fluffy kitten, petting it as he munched on his onigiri. In Kyoto at this time there is a festival in progress called Gion Matsuri . It's noticible by the amount of paper-lanterns hanging by the road and along the pavement, as well as by the distant, cama resounding sound of bells and drums purifying the area and apeasing the shinto-spirits in preperation for the festival and parade on the 17th. I personally love every bit of it. After our trip into town by bus we went to Aki's to slouch, eat bento and delicious caramel custard and once the clock passed 00:00 we trodded on home along the darkened streets. My feet do not appreciate all this walking, but I still love this place.
