Japan: Day 14









An unstructured day. We meet some of our team at breakfast.

Me: Good to meet you we enjoyed our trip with you. Go well today and in the future today. Go well.

We take a self-guided tour around Kyoto. Feel less like a tourist in ancient Japan Land at Disneyland. Feel more like a local wandering around looking for a place to eat or something to buy.
Stumble upon a place serving food. Pictures of dishes. Looks alright. Deserted. One man greets us.
Us: Do you serve lunch?
He sweeps us to a table. Gives us a menu. We point at what we want.
He shakes his head and points elsewhere.
I think we have to choose what rice what main dish.
We point again.
This time he is happy and departs. We have seen no one else so assume he will do the cooking.
After a very short time he returns carrying large plates of food. Many small delicate elaborate lumps of food. They are warm and delicious.
Food finished and he returns with the main meal. More tasty Korean food.
We eventually depart. I point at my camera.
He grins.
I grab my mask lower it and say: No mask.
He understands and lowers his mask. He smiles.
We say thank you many times loudly in case he doesn’t understand the word but I think he did.
