Japan- Day 5

Finally in Kyoto! Everything was super old fashioned, but very antique and pretty. WE got a guest tour guide who was very charismatic and had the strangest voice and umbrella. She took us to the Golden Pavillion first.  Outside were Buddha's 5 Commandments: Don't kill, don't steal, don't lie, don't commit adultery, and don't drink too much! Our tour guide doesn't like the last one. We took a bunch of pictures with some random little kids and I sat in the "Precious Seat". Next we saw a kimono fashion show and I spent quite a lot of money on kimonos for my parents. But money is meant to be spent so I didn't mind the prices. Then we got to my favorite part of the whole tour: The Shogun's Palace. I don't know why I liked it so much there, but it was my favorite place. The floors squeaked so the Shogun's bodyguards could hear intruders! So awesome! Took pictures of the outside, it wasn't allowed on the inside. Then we visited the place with a thousand torii gates. There were quite a lot and there was a trail that would take about 2 hours to hike all completely covered in torii gates. We headed back to the city where Jackson and I took a picture under the label of the store Konoban by 2. B. Black.
