Reminiscing Kyoto

Bored and wide awake, I decided to blog-hop late Saturday night and came across Romsil's blog. I noticed that he was blogging since June 2006, so I checked his posts. Suddenly, I remembered that Dorothy and I went to Kyoto last September 2006 with them (Romsil, Gloridel, and Anna Mae) as our tour guides. I found his post regarding the superb-escapade in full details and with pictures to prove!! Good thing he withheld our names, saving us from further sheer embarrassment =P

Flashback: It took us 2 months to plan the KKO (Kyoto, Kobe, Osaka) trip. I had a contact from Osaka, whom I met through an online Bisaya forum. She was kind enough to provide us accommodation and practically, organized the trip. At first, Dorothy and I were just aiming to explore the beauty of Kyoto and Osaka, but upon knowing from Gloridel (our contact/tour guide) that Kobe is adjacent to Osaka..we decided to include it in our itinerary as suggested by her.

Present: The trip was a blast and absolutely, a summer well spent!! I'd love to put into fine points the particular destinations we visited but regretfully, my memory is not serving me good now.

The excuse: I failed to blog that amazing trip because I had no time and undeniably, really busy with my (then) assigned project, thus, preventing me to scribble anything but work-related.

Anyway, read Romsil's blog. (Warning: Pure Bisdaks involve! So bear our native language): Kyoto - The Real Deal!
