These photos were taken one day, when I returned "home", and I walked in the center only to take some photos:)Traveling Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537916238477256361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387434597358464040.post-1135542368662240962012-07-21T22:07:30.457+04:002012-07-21T22:07:30.457+04:00In my country, I find that all large cities with r...In my country, I find that all large cities with regards to shops are becoming stereotypical. In certain parts of the world this is being replicated which is a shame. I tend to stay away or avoid these places because sometimes I might feel that I am in my home town ... although there is an exception with Starbucks ... it makes me feel at home :-)J_on_tourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05469200077815953611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387434597358464040.post-81897169237843888042012-07-15T00:58:32.488+04:002012-07-15T00:58:32.488+04:00Hello, Helma!

Japan seems to manage keeping its history and traditions alive, even in the midst of rapid change. I love seeing the Starbucks... as I drink my morning coffee :^) Hope you have a wonderful vacation in the mountains!Doug Hickokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11939086717539293768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387434597358464040.post-69553393988082838002012-07-08T16:39:34.954+04:002012-07-08T16:39:34.954+04:00It's not the astonishing modern architecture o...It's not the astonishing modern architecture one would expect in Japan. I guess you have to go to Tokyo for that. I just wanted little variation in my photos, so I walked once at those streets. In the rest of the time, I was busy with the temples and gardens:)<br /><br />Yes, it's nice here, at the chalet. It's much cooler as in town, at least mornings and evenings. We had 38 Celsius degrees in my town, when we left.Traveling Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537916238477256361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387434597358464040.post-41927760576292180392012-07-07T22:48:14.669+04:002012-07-07T22:48:14.669+04:00Funny, I don't even remember this modern side ...Funny, I don't even remember this modern side of Kyoto. Not that I didn't see it, of course... it just left little impression!
