elusivek | Day 2 - Kyoto and this time everything went smoothly (Reply)

Hah! So I couldn't make that reservation for today, no problem, I went to look for another type of breakfast. Eggs'n Things is a very weird Hawaii-themed diner or cafe type of thing. But. The pancake wasn't even that good. I guess they wanted to make it savory. I think even if it's savory, a pancake should have a teeny tiny bit of sugar.

Caught a bus to go somewhere far-far away.

The NyanNyan-Ji! The Link Be Here! According to their website, this is just a website showing cat-themed exhibits. Everything inside is cats. It was hilarious. There's no real cats (maybe there are but they're hiding, I guess)

So just to show you some photos without my chatting.

I don't know why this series of "history book" just amused me so much. The pyramid... with cat ears LOL. I had to get the postcard. I got... a lot of postcards. Well. Fodder for my postcard IG. And the Omikuji. I got a super-luck omikuji, which this "level of luckiness" usually doesn't exist (at least, I don't think so). But I also suspect for this Cat Museum Omikuji, all the Omikuji would be some level of "Good Luck."

Next off to Arashiyama. I was hoping to find the same shop I went to some 10 years ago that sold a handbag, the design was sort of a Birkin-type bag with those flaps, but the material was with the Japanese kimono cloth. But nah, shop doesn't exist anymore.

So after walking along the street, snacking on street food, and having some miscommunication where I wanted to buy a cup-sized warabimochi, and the staff gave me a family sized one and I only have till Monday to eat it up, I decided to go back into the city. Book Off Plus. Second hand stuff. Long time no see 8cm CDs! I got 3 CDs (not these 8cm ones)

Then decided to get an early dinner.

Decided to go all out and went for the "Prestige" set and also ordered this "Jabara" Cucumber, which on the menu said, "You'll be surprised!"

Guess what, I was indeed super surprised. He just placed that cucumber on the bar table without a plate or any lining! I AM SHOOKEH. IS IT EVEN HYGIENIC?
But I ate it all up because it was good.

I've said once I wouldn't visit those cat cafes or puppy cafes, but from the photos at the storefront and checking some reviews online it seemed the piggies were well-looked after, I decided to give it a try. Small controlled groups, tables each session. You can't pick up the piglets. You can't touch their face. Okay. Piggies came to me. Piggies slept on my lap. One piggie was trying to eat my parka so I tried to pull it out and bloody piggie tried to snap-bite me, LOL. Okay, feisty! I didn't know pigs can get feisty!
