We took a train from Kansai Airport to Kyoto which is 1 hour plus... Checked into our hotels and out we go for our dinner... We had dinner at a ramen stall... And the japanese can really eat... Cause when you buy a set meal... It comes with both rice and noodles... So share lo... Coz everything at Japan is so ex... Then we walked around that shopping centre...

Looking from the brochures, they say it's a park with wandering deers more than 1000 of them... Haha~ So we went there and of coz it's true... But they are friendly ones cause they won't charge at you unless you have food for them... Which we experienced that... Haha~ My cousin go feed them with sweet potato skin and the whole lot came charging at us... And we were passing the bag of sweet potato skin around.. haha~ And of coz running for our lives... But the deers only chase us for a while la... So we rested at a spot... We were taking pics with the deers and looking around see whether got any charge at us a not.. Haha~ Got phobia liao... Spend about 2 hours there... Exploring that place and viewing the scenery.. Really breathtaking.. Got hills and clear blue sky... Just as i thought it's going to be... Japan has nice clear blue sky seriously... Oh ya, haven't talk about the weather yet... Quite cold... But not as cold as those got winter one... Wore 2 layers almost everyday except for some days wore 3 layers... After the deer park, we went to a place near it to shop... It's not a shopping centre just got streets selling things there...
