Going to Kyoto

Tomorrow I am going to Kyoto to see my Uncle Shemsu who is a student in Kyoto University and his friend YUKO . Kyoto is the former capital of Japan with an old beautiful and Traditional culture. As I heard it from my friends there is one birth taking palace which was built on the 17th century....(I don't know the name of the king I will check it out for u tomorrow) which is painted with gold. I found it difficult to Imagine how real gold painted place would look like and how much money spent on it.
The other thing I forward to see is the way how the ladies dress in Kyoto in which everyone is saying they have one of the best Kimono, and famous for wooden shoes and heavy makeup.....hemmm traditional.
I will try to upload some things by tomorrow at this time hop I get many things to write I have to leave now.

cheers
