After the heavy lunch, we walked to the famous togetsu bridge (known as Moon crossing) and its had many kodak moments. Pictures he took (since his camera is better) were just like from postcards. Next we went to Matsuo-Taisha known as God of Sake. S asked the train station master the direction of the shrine and station master kept telling him don't worry you will definitely spot it but S looked like he wanted to ask more haha. After just 2 steps from the station, we saw the big red gate haha!
Around evening time, we went to stroll around very old Kyoto atmosphere in Gion Shirakawa area (my okaasan recommendation). All the restaurants around it looked so expensive! Some don't even have the price outside which means you guarantee to get chop! We were pre warn by S's boss who went Kyoto few weeks earlier and he was shocked and upset with the dinner he had in one of the Grion restaurant that has no price listed. 1 beer, 2000 yen ($24), 3 slices of sashimi 8000 yen ($100) and others.
We were searching for dinner but couldn't find any that was within our budget and so I wanted to go back to Green cafe and eat my fish and chips. S refused so we found a place with mannequins dressed in Japanese old traditional clothes and each table had one. The funny thing was they only served 1 dish but their menu book was so huge. I did not like the taste so I barely eat it, then we found a ramen stall just opened for business. When we finished our ramen and left, S commented that they must had forgotten to add soya sauce inside my ramen and he was waiting for me to point it out. He couldn't believe I finished everything without complaint lol! Its was ok for me, not super delicious and I did not notice anything was wrong haha! But then I usually do not drink ramen soup as it was too oily and salty for me.
