Golden Temple Kyoto Quotes

In Kyoto I never experienced an air raid, but once when I was sent to the main factory in Osaka with some orders for spare parts for aircraft, there happened to be an attack and I saw one of the factory workers being carried out on a stretcher with his intestines exposed. What is so ghastly about exposed intestines? Why, when we see the insides of a human being do we have to cover our eyes in terror? Why are people so shocked by the sight of blood pouring out?

Her reusable bottle clipped to the strap like a talisman, promising hydration without the yen drain. As the shinkansen sliced through misty mountains, she dove into Reddit's r/JapanTravel: offbeat gems like the Philosopher's Path at twilight, or a hidden onsen where steam carried forgotten wishes.

Instead of charging to Kinkaku-ji's golden glare, she heeded the downtime decree. Sinking into a corner café with faded shoji screens, she ordered matcha latte, kudasai—phrase three from Duolingo's crash course. The barista, an elder with eyes like polished chestnuts, slid over a notebook scribbled with haiku. "For rainy thoughts," he said in careful English.
